Thanks to the partnered efforts of The Chadmar Group, the Town of Mammoth Lakes, and MLTPA, a legal route leading winter recreationists home from the Sherwins Range has been secured. The route is marked annually with directional signage.
The conflict over a private gate being built on a public road without a deeded public-access easement became the inciting incident in the formation of MLTPA, the Mammoth Lakes Trails and Public Access Foundation.
