So, in preparation for my big OV to Whitney trek, I was thinking of spending a night or two (depends on how much time I can get off from work) at Mammoth Lakes so I can sleep at 8k for a night or two.
Can anyone suggest some good hikes in the area that would be good and not too strenuous?
Obviously I don't want to do too much, but I've never had the chance to explore that area before (I know it's a crime to never have gotten over there), so figured it'd be a good chance to kill two legs with one more hike.
I had toyed with doing White Mountain Peak as a warmup, but I'm not sure doing a 12k to 14k climb ahead of this big trek is a good way to start.
