Short and Sweet Getaway to Mammoth
Short and Sweet Getaway to Mammoth
Phew! That was one fun and short trip although my body is still recovering. Lately I’ve been feeling so tired and slightly congested that I’ve been skipping my morning boot camps. I didn’t even run because my body is practically calling for rest. Hopefully I won’t get sick.
Friday night I started packing my essentials for the trip, making sure I have everything I needed. If I forgot something, I’ll just buy it there. The less I bring the better and there wasn’t much to pack since it was such a short trip. I didn’t even bother playing my game and just went straight to bed.
Day 1
Saturday morning I woke up around 4AM and played my game for a bit. Hiroshi woke up around 6AM and we both got ready for the trip. Our hiking shoes were already in the car and we made sure we had enough drinks and snacks for the long drive ahead of us. By 7AM we were on the road.
The freeway was clear and the drive the smooth. I watched outside the window change from city to a clear open area once we got the highway. Despite how tiring long drives can be, it was also relaxing.
Our first destination was the Lancaster Musical Road. Driving through it will play William Tell Overture yet it didn’t sound like it to me. Still a fun experience though.
The next stop was the Manzanar National Historic Site. It is one of the ten camps where over 110,000 Japanese Americans were incarcerated during World War II. Hiroshi had always wanted to visit despite how it was a depressing place. Most of the bunkers were gone although they managed to preserve two or three of the originals. The beds were really uncomfortable and I can’t imagine how hard it must be to live there. Aside from the poor living conditions, they also dealt with the harsh environment. It was ridiculously hot out there. The government justified their actions saying they were trying to “protect” the Japanese but honestly everyone can see they were being held as hostages. Yet, most of the Japanese were able to live peacefully. In fact some even wanted to remain there. They grew gardens, had dojos, and made new friends. I’m just amazed at how they strived on even though they were severely mistreated.

After being on the road for more than five hours, we finally made it to our hotel: The Village Lodge at Mammoth. Even though it was crazy windy, the place was beautiful! I love it here! The coziness and beautiful surrounding, man I totally fell in love.

After we parked our car and dropped our things off in our room. Our room was just so gorgeous I could just stay there. The only thing missing really was an outdoor hot tub.

The Kitchen
We walked around and looked for a restaurant to eat. Very much like all our other trips, we tend to eat one meal a day since we’re always on a go. At this point we were starving having only eaten a protein bar in the morning. We first went to a Hawaiian restaurant called Lakanuki Tiki Bar at a corner. Unfortunately the service was downright slow even though there were only a handful of us. The waitresses clearly saw us come in and continued to ignore us. We walked out after five minutes of waiting.
Thankfully that hellhole wasn’t the only restaurant in the Village. As we walked around, there were sushi (not ideal for cold weather), pizza (meh), some burger joints, and we finally settled for Toomey’s. Even though there weren’t a lot of customers, the service was superb and the menu looked good. It was a bit on the pricey side but we were too hungry to care. Besides it’s not like we’re going to eat here everyday. Hiroshi ordered the Seafood Jambalaya while I was debating if I should get Filet Mignon or New Zealand Elk Rack Chop. I wanted to try the elk yet I wasn’t sure if I’d like it so I settled for the other. Man, that was pretty darn good. Hiroshi was okay with his jambalaya because it wasn’t as spicy as he wanted it. He did love the seafood though. Overall, it was a good meal.
Our First Meal!
Afterwards we walked off our full stomach and went in some of the stores. Hiroshi forgot to bring his sweat so I bought him one with the Mammoth logo in it along and some magnets. One was a full a panorama view of Mammoth and the other two were Devil’s Postpile and Rainbow Falls, which we’ll go to the following day. I was a bit bummed out that they didn’t have the magnet set that I usually buy in tourist shops but these will have to do.
Still full from our meal for dessert, we walked a bit further to Ben & Jerry’s. Hiroshi actually discovered it when he looked outside of the balcony of our room. We each ordered a pint of ice cream (Chunky Monkey for Hiroshi and Americone Dream for me) that we could bring back to the hotel and eat later.
Once back in our room, I was too pooped to go out again. I lounged at the living room, and then settled in the bedroom, before going to the balcony and watch the live band. I got a little hungry and started eating my ice cream while Hiroshi soaked in the hot tub. I was in extreme lazy mode and just watched Ocean Eleven and barely finished Ocean Twelve before finally falling asleep. Hiroshi had to wake me up so I can brush my teeth. Yep, I was definitely pooped.
Our First Night at the Village
Day 2
Morning came and the loud sound of wind outside woke me up. Still a little groggy from yesterday, I got up and looked outside the window to admire the scene. My eyes were still dry from yesterday when Hiroshi decided to put the top down on his S2000 on the last 40 minutes before we reached Mammoth. I’ve also noticed my breathing was a little off thanks to the elevation. There were often times when I caught myself sighing from shortness of breath. That might be an issue when we go hiking in a bit. Hiroshi was still asleep so I went out to the balcony despite the cold winds.

The Other Side
Hiroshi woke up shortly and we packed our things for the day’s outing. Hiroshi packed a bottle of Pocari Sweat and filled his bag bladder with water along with snacks while I packed his sweat pants just in case it got cold and a bottle of water. We debated for a bit because he was only bringing his windbreaker jacket while I told him he’s much better off with a sweater. When we went outside, it was both cold and windy and he insisted he’d be fine. We bought our shuttle tickets and took the shuttle to the Mammoth Resort. From there more tourists came in before heading into the park and as expected, we all got off on the popular spot to the Devil’s Postpile. The hike was a short and easy half-mile route. All I can say is it was one bizarre place.

Our following hike was to the Rainbow Falls, which was two miles away from Devil’s Postpile. The elevation definitely got to me and it sucked how I had to stop a couple of times to catch my breath. I even felt crappier when Hiroshi told me he thought I’d be fine after running so much... I’ll get him back for that. Both Pocari Swear and protein bar did help a bit on the way.
The Rainbow Falls was very nice. It was a bit crowded with tourists and eventually we were able to find a spot where there were very little people and I could actually take a decent picture. Hiroshi was a little disappointed that they closed off the trail that goes to the base of the waterfall.
Gorgeous Rainbow Fall!
Hence why we went to Lower Falls half a mile south. The waterfall was much smaller yet there were no tourists around. The trail to the bottom was a little steep but we weren’t high up like Rainbow Falls. Another couple soon followed us and lady sure got guts exploring all over the place while her boyfriend followed. Instead of heading back through where we came from, they climbed up the rocks of the waterfalls. The boyfriend got stuck in the middle for a while. With a little encouragement from his girlfriend he made it to the top.
Lower Falls
As we were enjoying the waterfall, a big family came and the kids pretty much took over the area. They were a bit loud and obnoxious that we had to go. It would’ve been nice to enjoy the peaceful waterfall a bit longer.
We headed back to a closer shuttle stop where we waited for the bus with other tourists. I wasn’t as tired but I could really tell my face got burnt. I’ve completely forgot to put on sunblock this morning. Then again, I don’t like putting on sunblock when I know I’ll be breaking a sweat. Ah well, good thing my entire body was covered.
Back at the Mammoth Resort, I persuaded Hiroshi to ride the Gondola to the top of Mammoth. There were two stops and we thought there was an additional fee to get to the very top. Nope, only the mountain bikers get off of the first stop while the rest goes to the very top. We were warned it would be 40° with 50-70 MPH wind at the top. Good thing I brought Hiroshi’s sweats with me. He wore them over his shorts on the way up.
Scary Gondola
From the second stop, the wind picked up a bit but not as bad as I feared. Also, the very top wasn’t as cold except for the high winds. Hiroshi’s didn’t have any issue with his windbreaker except for the noise it made from the wind. In fact we could barley each other when we tried talking over the wind.
The view was a different story. I mean wow! Looking from over 11,000 ft. in elevation was just crazy! This was the highest Hiroshi and I had ever been on land. It was definitely a first for the both of us.

Hiroshi on Top of the World!
Back at the gondola tower, we went into the observatory center where we looked at rocks and felt different animal skins of a small bear, mountain lion, fox, and beaver. The staff was friendly and more than happy to tell us about each exhibition. After looking around for a while we headed back to the gondola on the way down to the resort. When we reached the bottom, we headed to the shuttle stop and waited for the bus to pick us up and bring us back to the Village.
Once again we haven’t had a decent meal and it was 4PM by the time we started looking around the Village for a good restaurant. Hiroshi already kept an eye out for two: Campo Mammoth (Italian) or Gomez Restaurant & Tequileria (Mexican). We chose the Italian restaurant since we haven’t had it in a while (not counting Papa John’s). For starters we’ve ordered Fritto Misto (fried calamari & vegetables) and a Berry Mojito for me. It was good even though it wasn’t the best food to put in an empty stomach.
Food!
For our main dish we ordered Bee Sting to our waiter’s suggestion (evoo, grana padano, basil, salami, red onions, serranos, mozzarella, & honey) and Meatball (tomato sauce, meatballs, basil, red onions, mozzarella, & chili flakes) wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas. Oh lordie, those were some good pizzas! They reminded me so much of the ones in Italy where it’s not so rich but pure in flavor.
Good Grub!
As for desserts, we definitely couldn’t pass on it: tiramisu. Hiroshi said the texture was perfect and was really good. The ice cream, chocolate cookie crumbs, and berries were great compliment. It was a pricey dinner yet well worth it.
Even Better!
Now that our stomachs are happy, we went to the shop again to buy a Mammoth sweater for my dad’s birthday. Then back to our room where I actually took a hot bath then a shower to wash off all the crap on me. Afterwards it was more lounging around the room. Hiroshi kept on insisting we finish up our ice cream but I was too pooped to even eat any. He managed to finish his and most of mine. Before heading to bed, I took one look outside the balcony. The night’s activity was a quiet one: Goosebumps Movie on a big screen. Yep, it was definitely a good day.
Our Last Night in Mammoth
Day 3
So for our last day we had a choice of either sticking around the Village and then go home or check out of the hotel early and drive through Yosemite on the way home. Of course I chose the latter. We didn’t bring much so packing didn’t take long and we checked out of the hotel by 7AM. I’ll definitely miss the place. Next time we’ll rent out mountain bikes and ride downhill from the gondola.
On the way to Yosemite, we took a quick detour and drove through a couple of lakes. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many lakes and I’m glad my phone was able to take decent pictures as we drove by. It was a little chilly in the shade.

Man, I didn’t know Yosemite was just an hour away from Mammoth. We made a stop at a gas station that looked so familiar. Then I remembered it was the same gas station we went to when we were in Yosemite. Thirty minutes of driving and we were already at the entrance. I felt a little bad how we paid 7-day admission although we will only be driving through it. Hiroshi assured me it was fine. The scenic drive was just as beautiful as I remembered.
We drove down the valley and stopped at Bridal Veil Falls. Since we came a month early compared to our first trip, there was a little more water. Not as much as the ones I’ve seen online but at least it didn’t look so sad when I first saw it.
Bridal Veil Falls
Then we drove around the valley to look at El Capitan, Cathedral Rock, the Three Big Brothers, and Half Dome.

And Half Dome with Hiroshi’s Trusty Steed
Before heading home, we stopped by a town near Yosemite to get gas. We were both a little hungry so we each ordered a Big Mac meal at McDonalds. It’s been a while since I had McDonalds and I have to say, that was so unhealthy. However it was convenient and we didn’t want to stay long at a restaurant. We both wanted to go home because we have work the following day.
It was a long drive home and I was grateful Hiroshi decided to put the top back up. After all we both already got burnt. He wanted to check out a raisin factory but we had already passed it by the time he thought about it. We got gas at Bakersfield before heading back to Orange County. I fell asleep a little along the way. Unfortunately we’ve reached traffic hours in LA, which added another hour to our drive.
Back in Orange County, we had an early dinner at Curry House before heading home. Hiroshi ordered his new favorite Salmon Curry while I tried the Seafood Hot Pot Curry. He loved his dish while it took me a while to eat mine. It was good but I doubt I’ll order it again. The hot pot made it a little too dry for my taste.
Back at Home
And that was our mini July Get Away trip!
