Can anyone recommend a short (4-6 miles each way) single overnight backpacking destination near Mammoth? This is a for a family backpacking trip with a 9 and 12 year old.
It would be for early August (10 days from now), so ideally passable snow conditions and not a permit hassle.
Any suggestions??

Any mosquito reports? I'm thinking they have to be epic this year!

Just a hint: They've re-named it the Inyo National Blood Donation Forest.

Duck Lake/Duck Pass area is fun. I took my kids through there on the way to Purple
and Virginia Lakes. There are bears around the lakes below Duck Pass, so prepare accordingly.
