Mammoth mountain takes over maintenance from that sign to main lodge during the winter months and Caltrans maintains it the rest of the year. I work for Caltrans District 9

Enviro activists will always object, and the existence of the Ansel Adams Wilderness means they will win.

Seemingly they never objected to Sherman Pass, the question is why? My theory is that the Forest Service isn’t viewed as the same Evil Empire that the DOH was by the late 1960s/early 1970s environmental groups.
All the same, the Ansel Adams Wilderness could always be rescinded if there was enough momentum to do so. Considering what has happened elsewhere with stuff like National Monument designations this past decade I’m always skeptical when someone claims something is forever permanent. Likely to happen though?…of course not.
