Natural History Wanderings

On Friday June 9, Forest Service employees discovered a 20-inch sinkhole approximately 2 miles northeast up Bald Mountain Road from Highway 395. This sinkhole expands out beneath the surface appoximately 10-12 feet wide and 6 feet deep.

The road is closed in partnership with the County of Mono as they work to repair the sinkhole. Please avoid this area as it has the potential to expand even larger before it can get fixed.
