After climbing Whitney twice, my wife and I would like to introduce our 8-year-old daughter to the area over Memorial Day weekend, since we feel it is such a special part of California. We're planning on doing the trail up to Lone Pine Lake, as well as lots of Eastern Sierra sights like Mono Lake, Mammoth and Schatt's!
Question for the forum here is what other trails should we be looking at doing? I think she can manage about 4-5 miles round trip. We've been up to Horseshoe Meadows but you can't really get to any great views without going further.
Any other things in the area that might interest a kid of this age?
Also, what are conditions like in the Eastern Sierra at the end of May? Looks like Lone Pine is very warm, while it gets chilly up high. Any issues with snowy roads?
