2021 Map of Bloody Mountain

About this map

Mammoth Lakes serves as the northern anchor of this high-altitude landscape, where the crest of the Sierra Nevada forms a natural boundary between Inyo National Forest and Sierra National Forest. The 2021 topography reveals a complex network of alpine basins, featuring prominent peaks like Bloody Mtn and Laurel Mtn. This area is characterized by a high density of glacial lakes, including the expansive Duck Lake, Sherwin Lakes, and Lake Virginia, all linked by an intricate system of backcountry routes such as the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trl and the Duck Pass Trl. Historically significant markers like Gibbs Cem near Panorama Dome sit adjacent to the recreational infrastructure of the Mammoth Lakes Pack Station Trl. The map also captures the descent into Cascade Valley and the remote meadows of Tully Hole, illustrating the transition from volcanic domes to steep granite escarpments.
