Labor Day Weekend last year-September, 2017 after few attempts from previous years, we finally got a chance to hike and complete the Thousand Island Lake in a good weather and a nice group of hikers.
Starting before sunrise leaving town, the drive is long (about 350 miles/6 hours one way from Irvine), but it is best driving early morning or late evening when no traffic.

Beautiful sky show before sunrise by Burbank hills. There was a fire going on that added more dramatic to the clouds http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-brush-fire-verdugo-20170901-story.html#

When the sun was out, we were looking ahead of the high 90 s degrees up to three digits temperatures in Southern California.
To beat the heat and have a nice cool air in Mammoth Lakes, we visited and got short hikes to a special landmark: Devil's Postpile and Rainbow Falls.

The best part of the trip was a group gourmet dinner as a family at the campground (sometimes we would have it at a cabin, a lodge or a house). There were several dishes and HikingOC.com often had it as a "buffet" style that would fit anyone (including vegetarian and vegan).
