We've spent about a dozen nights in Mammoth over the last 5 years, but we've not gotten out to see the area much. Normally we're gone before dawn, to Yosemite, then back in the evening. The only places I know well are that damn Von's and Mammoth Mountaineering. Believe it or not, we've not even set foot in Devil's Postpile, and it's right there at Mammoth.
We'll change that this trip, since we only have 2 hikes or climbs scheduled during our 5 nights in Mammoth. That leaves a day to visit the Postpile and another to leisurely tour Yosemite Valley. It's been 10 years since we've been all the way to the Valley - too much cool stuff to do on the eastside!
