Group Events + Other Things To Do
Thursday, July 31 – Happy Hour at Mammoth Brewing
4:00pm – 7:00pm If you're coming in on Thursday, join us for drinks and good company. Note that this is a non-hosted event, but come as you are and drop by anytime! (Bar has food options as well.)
Friday, August 1 – Pickleball Tournament
12pm – 3pm Of course this is totally optional, but I (Ray) would LOVE to see everyone get out on the pickleball court for some round robin tournament fun. Some of my favorite childhood memories were (too competitive) ping pong tournaments with family in the summers in San Diego and we're going to recreate the magic. I'm hoping to get 12-16 teams together on Old Town Mammoth's new pickleball courts where we'll have a group stage followed by semis and a final. If it sounds serious, it's not (unless...), so come out and enjoy some friendly and family fun and meet other guests. Beginners and experienced players alike will have a blast I promise. (The park has a limited number of free rackets but if you have extra from home, bring them along so we can make sure everyone who wants to can participate please!)
Saturday, August 2 - Horseshoe Lake Coffee Walk/Hike
8:30am - 10:00am Join us for a light hike the morning of the wedding. Bring your own coffee and we will brings some donuts to snack on. This 1.5-mile loop around Horseshoe Lake "varies from road width to single track, follows the contours of the lakeshore around the south side of the lake and then meanders through lodgepole pine forest to the Lakes Basin Path for a quick final paved section back to the trailhead. There are bridges and several easy stream crossings, meadows, picnic spots, sandy-beach access and good views of the Mammoth Crest looming above." There's also a .5-mile add-on to McLeod Lake, where—warm-weather permitting—you're invited to "take the plunge" with us and refresh yourself in a subalpine dip in crystal clear water. (This is also a good fishing spot for the anglers in attendance.) Meet at the Horseshoe Lake Staging Area where there's ample parking. ***
