Mammoth Mountain is a mountain in the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California. In this image, red represents forests, dark blue represents bare surfaces, green represents short vegetation (mainly bush), and purple represents newly fallen snow. Crawley Lake appears as the dark structure at the left center of the image, and the Mammoth Mountain ski area is just beyond the upper right corner of the image. The image was obtained by SIR-C/X-SAR on the Space Shuttle Endeavor on October 3, 1994 and shows an area about 24 mi (39 km) on a side, with North toward the lower right.
