Best Swimming Holes in CA: Cleo’s Bath & A Fake Turkey Sandwich Yesterday, I drove from Tahoe to Mammoth and decided to pull out the Day Hikes with a splash and see what fun I could get myself into. I saw that Cleo’s bath was off of 108 east of Sonora and bounced off 395 and headed to the bath. To my chagrin, Pinecrest Lake, where the trail head is was much further from 395 than I thought and I finally got to the lake at 7 PM. The stubborn asshole inside me couldn’t just enjoy the lake and drive back to Mammoth. Instead I proceeded to put on my trail running shows and sprint 2 miles around the lake and a mile and a half up the Stanislaus River. I am not sure if you have been here before but here […] Cliff Jumping Guest Author | July 9, 2017 2 Comments

Don’t Do This: Guy Does Huge Double Backflip & Misses Hitting a Rock by 12-Inches This guy does a sick tuck, layout double backflip and lands in an alpine pool only about 8-feet wide. If you watch close, he only misses hitting the wall of that pool by about 12-inches.
