From the ledge above Hot Creek, a very popular "catch-and-release" fly-fishing location. Access road to this creek is off of Hwy 395, just before the Mammoth Lakes airport turnoff.
A few years back, swimming was allowed in the pools where the hot springs mixed with the cold water of the stream. But now, due to unstable ground, that section of the creek is fenced off and access is prohibited.

The upper photo is spectacular but the lower one packs a lot of info
Another friend of mine (part of the Iver's clan) once took me to a hot spring only those in the know would be aware of. You took some long straight dirt road off of 395, right before you reached Bishop. A bunch of pools driping down the side of the hill.
I remember being warned to wear shoes because this was a favorite spot of the Piutes to party. The breaking of beer bottles was common sport.
Beautiful views!
Spectacular scenery!
The top photo is astounding.
This looks so familiar! I'm anxious to visit my friend in Bishop again.
You're so high up! Fantastic view of the river :-)
Top photo is definitely TOPS ! The depth and breadth of the vista comes across beautifully in your photo, truly awe inspiring.
Wow, You need to frame that top photo, it is superb.
Beautiful images.
