From Mono Hot Springs to Vermilion Valley Resort, it's only 6 miles, which means one thing: sleeping in! We didn't get started until, like, 7am. It was glorious.

The walk in, however, was not.

However, after six miles of pretty much just dirt roads, I saw a wonderful sign:

After that, we entered the amazing resort and I totally forgot to take pictures, so I'll just list some highlights:

• cheeseburger lunch
• pie
• nap
• decided to skip Mammoth and push to Tuolumne in one shot
• huge salad for dinner
• 4am trail time tomorrow, so early bed
