of the Japanese internment camps that operated here during the Second World War. During the war, Americans with Japanese ancestry
were rounded up from across the west coast, their loyalty in question. They were taken to a series of concentration camps, of which Manzanar is the best known. Inside, the story is told really well. Several facets strike home: the splits between the internees on support for what was happening to them; the sports games played against kids from local schools; and the speed with which people had to gather their things and relocate. It’s a fascinating dive into a chapter of history America would rather forget.
TRAIL FIX Farther north, Mammoth Lakes is a classic example of a ski resort that has spread its wings. Come before the snow sets in and the area is full of hikers and bikers taking in the mountain air along an impressive network of trails, while trout fisherman park up alongside the lakes. From here, a series of weird geological features can
easily be seen on a driving loop. The Earthquake Fault just west of the town centre can be climbed into; Hot Creek, near the airport, is all bubbling pools and steam vents; and Mono Lake has ghostly towers of tufa, or porous rock, forming by the shoreline.
