Mammoth is Closed Today due to Avalanche Risk
Message on Mammoth's site: All mountain operations are suspended today due to high avalanche danger. Wow.

Me too! Typical social. Some people say so. Others say no. I’ll just keep it quiet till I know more. Don’t want to add more stress or disinformation to the sad situation.

Looks like people/employees reporting the Mtn will be closed tomorrow as well the 27th due to ongoing Avy mitigation. Probably a good call. You can just barely see the top of the totem pole on the summit view of the cam today.

RIP, Olancha?
Now that 395 bypasses Olancha, is it destined to become another Inyo county ghost town? Other than the Jerky store and the Mobil station, there was never much there to begin with. I remember the old diner, but that closed years ago. Back in the 00s, the Mobil station used to be my first stop for gas when making the drive north.

Cool! I bet they are, I wouldn’t be either. I don’t like the detour even though it’s safer smoother and faster. But that just means you get a nicer view and closer to the Mtn too.

Always wondered about ‘Lake Olancha Resort’ They built that huge half circular wall and started putting pictures on it. I was never able to see from road, but recently saw on Google Maps and can now see what looks like a waterski type shape lake w rv sites on the backside. It will blow up at some point I’m sure.

MTB Mammoth Rock Trail
Mammoth Rock Trail Information – 2.7/6 miles, 7,860-8,460’ elevation, 100% single track, Medium technicality, Moderate effort MRC is one of the original Mountain Bike rides that people have been riding here in town since the early ’80s. The trail stretches from near the top of Old Mammoth Road across and down the face of the Sherwin Mountain Range into the lower parts of Mammoth Lakes. While riding this trail you will be treated to some fantastic views and of course, you get to ride right under the iconic Mammoth Rock formation. The lower trailhead is located on Sherwin Creek Road, one-half mile past Sierra Meadows Ranch. There are several large propane tanks in the area of the trailhead. You will also see signs in the area guiding you to the trailhead you can’t miss. The first three-quarters of a mile of the trail follows an old mammoth jeep road, then it turns into a single-track. The single track climbs thru a large area of manzanita and then up a forested section. At one point you will reach a clearing caused by the great avalanche of February 1986. The trail then passes just below Mammoth Rock and then continues to the end, which intersects Old Mammoth Road. Now you can turn around and enjoy this ride as a downhill. Caution: Downhill riders please slow down and watch for Horses and Hikers. This trail has heavy usage so you are going to encounter other users. Trail etiquette requires mountain bikers to yield to horses and hikers. Mammoth Rock Trail is a fun family trail that everyone who loves to ride mountain bikes should just check this trail out.
