Pile Burning Continues in Reds Meadow


Bishop, California, January 27, 2026— Inyo National Forest employees will continue


pile burning efforts in the Reds Meadow Valley starting tomorrow, January 28. Plenty of


snow coverage and cold overnight temperatures have made for good conditions to


continue this much needed forest health fuels reduction project.

Crews will focus on area FH-1 tomorrow, for a total of 31 acres. As conditions allow,


personnel will then move on to units FR-13, FR-14, and FR-15 (see attached map for


unit locations).

Smoke impacts are minimized as much as possible in coordination with the San Joaquin


Valley Air Pollution Control District and National Weather Service meteorologists to


ensure desired smoke dispersal. Smoke will be visible from Mammoth Lakes, Highway


395, Highway 203, and Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.

Signage Acknowledging Timbisha Shoshone Ordered Removed From Death Valley Exhibits Just days after Death Valley National Park issued a press release celebrating the shared history and long-term relationship between the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe and Death Valley, the Trump administration has ordered the National Park Service to remove signage acknowledging the tribe from park exhibits. The directive instructs the National Park Service to remove or revise interpretive signage that recognizes the Timbisha Shoshone Tribe’s historical and ongoing connection to the land within Death Valley National Park.  Secretary’s Order 3431 directs federal land management agencies to conduct comparable audits of all content made available to the public. The order applies to exhibits at locations including the Furnace Creek Visitor Center, where language acknowledging the tribe’s homeland and continued presence has been displayed for years. The signage was developed through collaboration between the N...

No Avalanche on Hwy 395; Chain Controls Causing Truck Turnarounds Mono County, CA — Rumors have been circulating that Highway 395 between Lee Vining and Mono City was closed due to an avalanche, with trucks being turned away. Authorities confirm that there is no avalanche in the area. The Bishop Branch of the California Highway Patrol (CHP) verified that trucks and other vehicles without chains are being turned around at both Lee Vining and Mono City. Chain controls are in effect due to winter weather conditions, which can make this stretch of highway slippery and hazardous. Motorists are urged to carry chains, obey chain control requirements, and drive cautiously. Attempting to bypass chain requirements is not only unsafe but can also result in fines and accidents. For the latest road conditions, travelers can check the Caltrans website or contact the Bishop CHP. https://sierrawave.net/rumor-not-true-heres-the-story-no-avalanche-on-hwy-395-between-lee-vining-and-mono-city/
