Mammoth Lakes, CA

Mammoth Mountain is located in California's Eastern Sierra approximately 100 miles south of the Nevada state line and 30 minutes from the Eastern Gate of Yosemite National park. Some of the highest elevation points reach 11,000 feet.  We took it nice and slow through the mountain ranges.  

  Driving through and seeing all the snow piled up made us nervous at first.  We knew the main roads had been cleared and weather forecast was not calling for anymore snow so we drove on through and we are glad we did.  A few of the roads were narrow due to the snow piles.  We ended up down a road that was blocked by snow, and turning around was a bit difficult.  We had to unhitch the tow vehicle and then was able to turn  the rig around and get back out on the road again, that was a bit tight and STRESSFUL for us.

  Driving through the Mammoth Forest was the most beautiful scenery we had ever seen. We were all happy to see it from inside the RV. Cindi and Jasmine looking a bit stressed, where are our sweaters they must be wondering. Temperatures up in the mountains, very very COLD. Mammoth receives an average of 339 inches of snow per season, though the 2005-2006 season saw the resort accumulate an astounding 578 inches a record.  By the afternoon we were out of the mountains and no snow to be seen anywhere.
