Day 2-Vegas to Mammoth Lake

On Tuesday we started out from Vegas and made our way through Death Valley (-282 ft elevation). We passed by the Sierra Nevada mountain range and ended the day at the Shady Rest campground in the Inyo National Forest in Mammoth Lake, CA. It was somewhere around 8000 feet above sea level. We froze. We were in bear country. We had to deal with elevation. We were lucky to escape.
