About 5 miles north of Mammoth Lakes, there's the June Lake loop. Hitting the southern portion (the northern area had a partial closure due to Covid-19 restrictions), I made a short scramble (literally) up Fern lake to see how far I could get, hoping to get to and over the summit, well over 1000' up, before I had to turn around, to no avail. Again, this time of the year, too much snow at the upper elevations to cross, on short time. But that first mile is pretty intense, and steep. Some future incredible hikes here. Waterfalls literally drop down hundreds of feet from the top and in the middle of mountains, sometimes from the sides of them. A multitude of lakes behind the mountain peaks and deep in the eastern Sierra mountains.
