Trailtrekker and Mtflyer joined me for the weekend in Mammoth, to celebrate my 51st birthday. Since it was a longer drive than usual, we wanted a short easy hike. Glass Mountain was on TT's list, and the last time I did it was in a snow storm.
The road was blocked 2.5 miles from the TH. Mtflyer came to the rescue, and moved 3 trees with his truck and tow ropes. After the hike, we drove to Whoa Nellie Deli (one of my favorite places to eat) by Mono Lake, and even got a birthday song from everyone there! Fun birthday celebration!
