Mineral King, California The go-ahead has been given by the United States Department of the Interior for the construction of State Road 276 from Three Rivers to Mineral King in California's High Sierra. This road is a basic requirement in the planning permit granted to Walt Disney Productions by the United States Forest Service, which will administer the development of Mineral King as a year-round outdoor recreational area. Construction will be under a program that calls for completion of the road and the opening of Mineral King to the public by October, 1973.
