The Sierra Mountains

We spent 2 days in Bishop, California which is nestled in the Eastern Sierra Mountains and is a part of Owens Valley. It seems that many years ago, this land was purchased by the city of Los Angeles to be its source of water. The water runs down out of the mountains, into many different reservoirs and eventually makes its way 200 miles down to LA. The area has spectacular scenary and the season helps to make it more beautiful.

Yesterday we went "up north" to June Lake and The Mammoth Lakes Ski Area.

At one point, we were about 8000 feet above sea level and it started to snow ... it did not take us long to reverse the route!

This little fellow gave us a look on the way down.
