Hi Friends, have you ever been to natural hot springs? These were my first and although I wasn't allowed in (too hot), I loved walking around in the clay/mud and getting a natural clay mask on my paws 😂☺️🐾 Thanks for watching! Louie

Mammoth Lakes comprises several alpine lakes east of the Sierra Nevadas. Southern Californians love Mammoth—and it’s easy to see why. You see an oddly shaped “M” on the back of a lot of cars in Southern California. It’s elongated into a kind of double “M”, actually, and its peaks are craggy like a mountain. It’s somewhat enigmatic, especially compared to some of the more in-your-face bumper stickers some drivers display. It’s a sign that the passengers are part of the cult of Mammoth, a place of peaks and lakes tucked into the eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas that inspires endless love—and often a cabin purchase—by those who’ve been.

The Pacific Crest Trail is a 2,650 footpath that runs from Mexico to Canada and passes through Mammoth Lakes. You’ve likely seen hikers walking around town with big backpacks and even bigger appetites. By the time they reach Mammoth hiking northward, they’ve already hiked 900 miles. One challenging...

Dennis Mattinson / Weather and Atmospheric Forecaster. A cut-off low off the CA Coast will advect a plume of moisture (with a Southerly flow) across Sierra today. A shallow ridge moving over the Four Corners Area Thursday will keep that flow going with continued scattered showers & t-storms pushing through our area through about Saturday (with the highest coverage over the higher elevations of Mammoth). Even a few snow showers will be possible atop Mammoth Mountain above 11k feet. Along with the moisture gradient, expect the possibility of dry microbursts in our area…DMATT.

Originally published as a Mammoth Lakes Police Department Facebook post – “Across the nation, a new TikTok challenge is taking hold called the # OrbeezChallenge and unfortunately, Mammoth Lakes is not immune. This “challenge” encourages children to load airsoft guns with polymer beads filled with water and then shoot their friends. In some reports, bystanders or vehicles have also been shot. Airsoft guns often resemble real firearms which creates a public safety hazard. The injuries from being shot with the beads can be quite severe.

Elizabeth Tenney sure tried. The former Mammoth Planning Commissioner was a big proponent of making the Town look better. She was the inspiration behind the welcome signs at the entrance to town. She was the one who beautified the post office, until she moved away and the garden wasn’t maintained...
