Inyo Forest Closure Update

As you may have heard, the Forest Service has temporarily closed all national forests in CA, due to the number of wildfires in the state.

There are no active fires in the Mammoth Lakes area, and the Forest Service would like to keep it that way -- in short, they need to protect critical fire fighting resources to fight the Caldor and other fires, which are threatening structures and homes in other parts of California.

What does that mean for Mammoth? Many area forest lands will be closed, but there's still plenty to do over the holiday weekend.
