Day 61 - Nero in Mammoth

Mile 901  to Red Meadows - 5.7 miles. Distance from Mexico 906.7 miles

A comfortable trot to Red Meadows in the morning with a view of some spectacular peaks to enjoy
Red Meadows is at the end of one of the tentacles of the octopus that is Mammoth. The bus shuttle took us firstly to the main ski area of Mammoth which is super impressive
It's holiday time here so the skifield is still running along with mountain bike tracks. Mammoth Mountain itself has 25 chair lifts, 2 gondolas, 2 t bars & a pomas.
A 2nd bike shuttle took us in to Mammoth itself - very touristy & very Queenstown like. Also the place seems very new. I checked in to the local hostel (very chilled) & got some chores done including gear repairs at Mammoth Mountaineering who were brilliant.
Tomorrow I'll plan for the next section & do a resupply etc...Weta
