\n395-Trip September 2026<\/p>\n

We were meeting with friends for a long weekend in Mammoth Lakes. To make the long trip even more worth it, we drove up a week early for some backpacking.
\nFrom home we drove straight to Mosquito Flats and camped in the backpackers campground across the creek from the parking lot.

Mono Pass (south)<\/p>\n

Day 1:
\nWe headed into Little Lakes Valley and then took the Mono Pass turnoff. The trail up to the pass is very gentle. The last few hundred feet below the pass are very rugged with no vegetation and big rocks. The north side of the pass all the way past Summit Lake is very sandy and also a desert.
\nJust below Summit Lake the first view of Pioneer Basin opens up. Since there are no good campsites on the north side of the pass until one gets down to the level of Fourth Recess Lake we went to the lake for our first camp.<\/p>\n

Day 2:
\nWe hiked from Fourth Recess Lake to the first lake, found a great campsite, setup camp, and had a nice lunch break. Afterwards we explored Pioneer Basin.<\/p>\n

Day 3:
\nAfter breakfast we started our hike back towards Mono Pass and setup camp at Trail Lakes. The site we picked had some nice rocks to nap, read, and experiment with the new, small solar panel.<\/p>\n

Day 4:
\nHike out back to the truck and drive down Rock Creek Road. In Tom’s place we pull over to research motels in Bishop and Mammoth Lakes, to our surprise there were some affordable options available in Mammoth.

Mono Pass (north) and Bloody Canyon
\nAfter a day and two nights in Mammoth we drove to Walker Lake to hike up the other Mono Pass. The break in Mammoth aligned perfectly with the weather. A system with thunderstorms moved through. Higher elevations even got a dusting of snow. We watched the weather from the truck and checked the radar images to discover that the pass we had been on just 24 h before was in the middle of a thunderstorm.
