Getting Lost in the Copper Corridor

Facebooktwitterredditpinterestlinkedinmailby feather

Can you guess where in the Copper Corridor the cover photo was taken? If you guessed Mammoth, then you would be correct. We gave you a pretty big hint in the cover photo. It is the Blue Front Inn that is located on Main St. in Mammoth. Many years ago, before the current Highway 77 was established, folks traveling through Mammoth had to take Main St. through the heart of Mammoth on their way to other destinations. The Blue Front Inn was a great place to stop for libations and a spot of dancing. It has been closed for many years, although it still sports the beautiful powder blue paint job marking it as a landmark in this Copper Corridor town. The Nugget has been taking our readers on a journey through the Copper Corridor, helping you to ‘Get Lost.’ We hope you continue to travel with us.
