Sunsets, Mammoth Lakes region        Images © Mark A. Chappell

The mountains near Mammoth Lakes, California often sport lovely cloud displays in the evenings.   Here are three.  The view at upper left is from a dirt road in the northern portion of the Long Valley caldera, looking west over Mammoth Mountain towards backlit clouds.   The picture at upper right shows brightly-lit clouds over the Minarets and Mts. Ritter and Banner.   The photo below shows Mammoth Mountain, the Minarets, Ritter, and Banner against a sunset sky.
