Mountain View is a ski resort and location in The Last of Us Part II. It is on the Teton Valley trail that the patrolmen from Jackson regularly monitor to ensure infected and hostile survivors stay away from the local community.[1]
History[]
Before the Cordyceps brain infection outbreak, the area was a ski resort residents in Wyoming would visit, especially in winter months. After the outbreak, it came into disuse, allowing infected to roam in and take control of the area.
By 2034, Maria Miller deemed the area worth patrolling, assigning the Jackson community's patrolmen to monitor the area regularly, with a patrol heading there at least every fortnight. By 2035, Joel and Tommy Miller had made it their regular patrol route after their success in the winter of 2034 defeating a horde of clickers and bloaters that had wandered into the area, as typically happened during the winter months. Over the next three years, the brothers near-exclusively patrolled this area, and would regularly relax in the lodge area, playing guitar together and even teasing fellow patrolmen like Mike by recording their off-duty events and jokes in the logbook, even though this was supposed to be forbidden.
In 2036, Ellie joined the brothers on patrol in the area. Tommy sensed Ellie was troubled by something, which she was, being uncomfortable about whether she should inform Joel that she was dating Cat. To take her mind off her worries, Tommy taught Ellie how to snipe runners wandering the area with his scoped rifle.
Afterwards, the pair regrouped with Joel in the lodge. Tommy, in an effort to help Ellie reconnect with Joel, suggested the pair go and find new guitar strings from the local downtown area. Joel, happy with the idea, agreed and he and Ellie rode their horses into town. However, the pair had to fight through several infected, including a bloater in the local hotel to reach the music store.
Their search was cut short when they encountered the corpses of Adam and Sidney, two teenagers from Jackson who had run away in hopes of rebuilding society. Hurt by the loss, Ellie argued with Joel about the events surrounding the Fireflies in Salt Lake City. Joel deflected, insisting they return to Tommy and bring the teenager's corpses back to Jackson; they proceeded to do so.[1]
In March, 2038, a group of Jackson patrolmen spotted a large horde of infected gathering around Mountain View. Trusting Joel and Tommy the most of all her patrolmen, Maria sent them out to confront the horde first. The Miller brothers reached the lodge and fought the horde, managing to rescue Abby Anderson while there. However, the horde proved too much for the brothers, with them eventually having to retreat and flee with Abby to the Baldwin mansion, leaving the horde to ravage and destroy the area.[2]
