HIGH SIERRA | 6 MUST SEE PLACES NEAR MAMMOTH LAKES 

You asked so I'll be honest. I was expecting to see a lot more footage of the places. Instead most of the video is watching a woman in slow motion. Not my cup of tea. The shots that DID show the scenery were stunning.

Where are those hot springs at?

Beautiful! Home sweet home!

Thank you Thank you ... Fortunately, beginning in 1953 I have been to every location in this wonderful video. I am now 75 and unable to travel, especially at altitude. But videos such as these are a true treasure. If you visit, Pack Out what you Packed In. (3/13/2021 12:08AM)

+NorAlienEuqcab Thank you! Always trying to make better videos for everyone!

+DroneWolf Media Thanks for watching everything I do and for all the kind words! 🙌

Thank you!

+Brett Delarios Thanks, took me a while to find this song that I felt fit the video.

I know exactly what you mean. Finding the right music is a must! The music needs to flow and dance in harmony with the aerial images... :)

+Brett Delarios Well said! 👏

Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for watching!

Best to hike into backcountry for couple days then you can have your own lake and canyon to yourself maybe. Access difficulty is key.

+Circa 71 Media If only there was an aerial IMAX camera that I could afford! 😂 Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for watching!!

Great footage I spent a lot of time in Mammoth,June lakes area back in 90' -97 I worked in goldmines in Nevada that were located only a couple hours away it was the green beautiful trees and clear blue water that drew my wife and kids and myself to the area I remember my kids would swim for hours in those cold lakes horse shoe, June and I could barely stand in the water for a minute,thank you for the video brings back some fond memories

+Edward Felton Thanks for watching, stay tuned!! 😊

+Jon BJ Thank you Sir! Glad you liked it!

Awesome story, thanks so much for sharing (and watching)!

Awesome, have a great time! ❤️ Eastern Sierra

@@JohnConrad thank you!!

One of the most beautiful lakes is just 2 miles off 395 across from Mammoth Airport. Convict Lake.

Heading there around Oct. 1 or 2...on the way to Mammoth Lakes and Bishop and Bodie!!

I like to mix it up, makes the video more interesting (at least to me). I'm glad you agree, and thanks for watching!

Beautiful drive up the 120! Love this area.

Actually, it's about 30 bags of concrete and many flat rock,in 1995 I repaired the whole west side, the one without a seat and that took 12 bags and some better fiat rocks

Yes, it is prohibited. I learned this after the fact. When we arrived, the rangers were gone for the day (sunset). I didn't see any no-drone sign, checked the Hover app and it gave the all-clear. It wasn't until after posting the video I learned that they prohibit drone flights. Although they should register it as a NFZ with the FAA to make it official, I apologize for flying there. Technically speaking the parks service doesn't have jurisdiction over the airspace, and unless they register it as a NFZ it's somewhat of a "gray" area. But nevertheless I don't want to set a bad example.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not an LEA and wasn't trying to come off as a narc, so no need to apologize to me. I agree that they don't do a good job of posting any signage, but I have heard of at least one pilot getting "fined" by the ranger(s) there. There also is an airstrip within 5 miles of the south tufa formations and I'm surprised that didn't show up on airmap.

@@JohnConrad Be advised that flying over a wilderness area is also prohibited also, be that on lands managed by the National Park Service (National Park System), U.S. Forest Service (National Forests), Bureau of Land Management (federal public lands) or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (National Wildlife Refuges). In addition drone flights are prohibited over an lands in the National Park System. You are not familiar enough with these various classifications, as evidenced by your words "parks service." South Tufa and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest are both on the Inyo National Forest as managed by the U.S. Forest Service. This is not a grey area at all. I'm retired from the U.S. Forest Service and have lived in the eastern Sierra for 37 years and was a "Forest Protection Officer." Saying that there weren't any "no drone" signs is not good logic. There aren't any signs saying "don't light wildfires" either. A drone operator has the responsibility to know where and under what circumstances drones can be flown. Not every regulation and United States Code can be posted on every parcel of federal, state, county or local land. Drone flights at or adjacent to wildland fires can't be signed either, yet the use of drones is extremely dangerous in such circumstances and a temporary flight restriction is not required to make drone flights illegal in such cases. There have been some near mid air collisions between drones and firefighting aircraft and the firefighting aviation has been forced to shut down on some fires when drones have been spotted. This stoppage could affect the eventual size and damage of such wildfires, possibly resulting in the loss of a structure, subdivisions and even portions of or entire towns as well as endangering firefighters on the ground who depend of aircraft resources to keep them safe. Each of the federal agencies I listed above have information on their websites that address these issues and others. I would suggest doing additional research.

I am not aware of any regulation or Forest Supervisor's Order that prohibits the landing, takeoff and operation of drones at or above the Mono Lake Tufas. From April 1st to August 1st there is a restriction on being within 1 mile of Negit and Paoha Islands and this is due to bird breeding, brooding and nesting, but as far as I know there is no restriction of drone use at South Tufa or any other tufa formations at Mono Lake. I'm not positive about any state laws that might apply to disturbing or harassing nesting Peregrine falcons who use the tops of some isolated tufas for a portion of the year for breeding, brooding and nesting.

I second this. I was there this weekend, and the amount of trash I picked up while hiking to rainbow falls was insane.

What is going on with all this trash? Have people forgotten “Pack it in pack it out,” “ Give a Hoot Don’t Pollute,” “Don’t Be a Litterbug”? I guess some don’t care about the environment as much as they claim they do.

When I see people throw trash away on the street I roll down my window and ask them,"Do you expect me to pick that up for you"?

You will see a lot more of that when Biden completely opens up the border

PS. Covid is a myth. Stop being such an elitist and a fear monger.

+James Paatmag thank you, I put a ton of time into these, always trying to improve! Comments like yours make it all worth it! 🙌

Panasonic GH4, no gimbal :)

+Rawhide Adventures Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it 🙏

He's probably a licensed commercial drone pilot

Thank you buddy!

September.

Mavic 2 Pro or Phantom 4 Pro

@@JohnConrad ..thank you for your guidance..I have to wait for a tax return though...lol

+CNK Hobbies Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for watching! 🙏

Just uploaded a new video!

Actually, there is a typo. I did NOT fly when I was there.
