 The Warhawk Air Museum is located in Nampa, Idaho just outside of Boise. The Museum began as a World War II Museum featuring its famous Warhawk and Kittyhawk P-40's, since then its collection has expanded to include other planes from WWII, Korea, and even a Vietnam Huey Helicopter. But the planes are not the only thing on display at the Warhawk, the collections of wartime memorabilia and personal effects from the soldiers (and citizens) who served and supported the war effort are priceless. A recent expansion has added a new wing for the further growth of collections from Korea, Vietnam, the Cold War, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan- and provide more room for WWI and WWII in the original wing.
Perhaps the greatest attribute of the Warhawk however is not its collections at all, but the people who actively make it a "Living History Museum", such as the WWII and Korean War Veterans who regularly speak to groups of students in a project called "Bridging the Generations". In conjunction with the Library of Congress, the Warhawk has filmed the oral histories of hundreds of WWII Veterans for preservation as part of the Veterans History Project, and has expanded this effort into the wars that followed WWII as well.
This virtual tour is a sample of what can be experienced at the Warhawk, but nothing compares to a visit in person. If you go, and happen to bump into a Pearl Harbor survivor, a B-17 Pilot, or an Iwo Jima Leatherneck, don't forget to thank them for your freedom- and for helping the Museum pass on this knowledge to both new and future generations.

 Mammoth Lakes is located at the base of the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountain range in Eastern California, and is the home of Mammoth Mountain- one of the biggest ski resorts in the United States featuring 3,500 skiable acres. Mammoth Lakes and surrounding Mono County are also a front row seat to a massive volcanic caldera, and signs that a violent past created the tallest mountain range in the continental United States are everywhere, such as the split-in-half peaks above Convict Lake.
Mammoth Lakes is an X-Games kind of place, with downhill mountain biking on Mammoth Mountain’s trails in the summer and skiing or snowboarding the thousands of acres of deep fluffy powder in the winter. There is the huge Volcom Brothers skate park right in town, the Lakes Basin area that is perfect for paddle boarding or hiking, not to mention the trails up and along the base of the Sherwin Range and Mammoth Rock for a challenging morning jog.
This tour also includes some extremely fragile places such as Devil’s Postpile National Monument, Rainbow Falls, Bodie Ghost Town, Hot Creek Preserve, Mono Lake, and Mammoth Rock among others. Additionally we will be adding a winter segment to the tour in December. This tour will be featured as part of a RegalEarth Mapping system on the Mammoth Lakes Tourism website at: http:// www.visitmammoth.com
