MAMMOTH -- "10 Days in the 10th Month"
Sat, 2006-10-07 20:43
Well ... I arrived last night (Fri) in Mammoth for the 1st of many more vacations to come. This trip is 10 days, hence the title "10 Days in the 10th month". Beautiful drive down 395 with the full moon last night. Beautiful "cool" day today in the Sierra's. A few snow "balls" falling out of the sky up at Saddlebag Lake this afternoon. Olmstead Point in YOSEMITE was absolutely perfect, shining sun and no clouds. All the clouds were sitting over Tioga Pass. Picked up my T-Shirt in support for the Mono County Search and Rescue at WND. It looked like they were having great support in their effort! Shaping up to be a great week (10 days) here in Paradise, great hiking weather along with perfect mtn. biking trails setup on the big HILL. A decent amount of snow sitting on June Mountain at about 11:00 this morning (SAT). Much more snow than what is on Mammoth. Check back daily as I'll be posting my exciting adventures for the next many days. ENJOY the PIX !!!!!

"10 Days in the 10th Month" -- Day 3.....
Another beautiful day in Mammoth. As the normal weather motto for Mammoth, if you don't like the weather wait 10 minutes, well this morning beautiful sunny day, which slowly turned into SNOW tonight, not a bad thing keep in mind. Went for a shorter hike this morning up to McLeod Lake. Only 1 mile roundtrip compared to yesterday's maybe about 12 mile hike. Got back, then headed down to Convict Lake for some breath-taking scenery sitting out on the rocks near the marina. I then headed up to June Lake Loop to view some of the fall colors, where I came across the normal family of ducks, 6 in fact, just hanging out on the shoreline of Silver Lake. Grant Lake had some spectacular views. Back to Mammoth in the afternoon, where the storm systems were slowly making the path up and over the Sierra crest. The Minarets by late afternoon were history as they completely clouded in. Tonight, SNOW !!!!! ALL PICTURES including all the latest from today....

"10 Days in the 10th Month" -- Updated with SNOW
Well it’s been another great two days up here in the Mammoth Area. As most know by now unless you have been in an igloo, MAMMOTH received roughly 4 inches of snow yesterday. The clouds have slowly cleared away this morning with some clouds returning this afternoon. The snow in town is still around in the shady spots. Hiking around Horseshoe Lake late yesterday afternoon, there was about 3 to 4 inches of snow on the ground. By that time, it was all snowflakes falling out of the sky instead of the hail/sleet/rain/snow mix seen in town. Here are a few of the updated pictures from the last two days. ENJOY. ALL PICTURES including all the latest from today….. Horseshoe Lake – Late 10/1006 afternoon – Snow coming down….

"10 Days in the 10th Month" -- MAMMOTH SUNSET
Well another relaxing day in the Eastern Sierra. Wandered off down to Convict Lake for a hike around the lake and a short ways up Convict Pass. The day started off bright and sunny but by late morning, clouds had crept into the mountains. By afternoon, those clouds floated away leaving only a few “thunderheads” off in the distance and the White Mountains peaks had some clouds. But with the clouds left over at sunset, the town of Mammoth Lakes was in for a spectacular most awesome sunset. The oranges were of so many shades, it’s really almost impossible to describe. Many pictures of the sunset are posted. It would only be fitting if the entire town had taken a time-out from whatever they were busy doing to have enjoyed tonight’s sunset. …ENJOY !!!! Updated with today's pictures Including The SUNSET tonight Mt. Morrison - Convict Lake - Fall Colors Mammoth's SUNSET (10/13/06) Mammoth's SUNSET (10/13/06) Afternoon Clouds building over the crest....Crystal Crag -ME-

"10 Days in the 10th Month" -- Saturday & Sund
Well it’s been a warmed couple of days this weekend. Yesterday went up to Virginia Lakes and hiked around a bunch. Still quite a bit of snow especially in the shady areas as expected. Lundy Lake still had fantastic fall colors, glowing yellow’s and orange’s. Went and stopped by Mono Lake for a short walk also. Today went down to Rainbow Falls and Lower Falls. Both falls are much calmer than back in July since the snow melt-off has wrapped-up long ago. Attached are the some of the photos. The rest are in their normal spot on my webpage. ENJOY!!! ALL Pictures from this Trip !!!!! Virginia Lakes Rainbow Falls Lower Falls Mono Lake -ME- |
