Snowshoeing in the Mammoth Lakes Basin at golden hour

The Sierra in All of Its Glory

As the sun sets in the west, the sky above the Mammoth Lakes Basin can take on an almost magical appearance we refer to as alpenglow. Different hues of blue, pink and white sometimes present themselves on the surrounding mountains and lower foothills of the region creating a truly exceptional experience.
