Things to do in Mammoth Lakes

Mammoth Lakes is a mountain resort town in the Eastern Sierra, built around Mammoth Mountain, a volcanic peak that rises above 11,000 feet. The mountain’s high elevation and heavy snowfall give it one of the longest ski seasons in California, often running well into spring. Tourism, hospitality and vacation homes, many owned by Southern California families, drive the local economy, and the town is the base for June Mountain, the Mammoth Lakes Basin and some of the best trout fishing in the state.

  1. 01

    Mammoth Mountain

    California’s highest lift-served summit offers wide bowls, steep chutes and long cruisers, with a gondola to the top that also runs for sightseers in summer.

  2. 02

    Devils Postpile National Monument

    Columns of basalt formed by cooling lava stand beside the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River, with a trail continuing to 101-foot Rainbow Falls. A seasonal shuttle serves the area.

  3. 03

    Mammoth Lakes Basin

    Just above town, a chain of alpine lakes including Lake Mary and Twin Lakes offers boating, fishing and trailheads into the John Muir Wilderness.

  4. 04

    Mono Lake

    About a half hour north near Lee Vining, this ancient saline lake is known for its limestone tufa towers, nesting birds and spectacular sunrise and sunset light.

  5. 05

    Hot Creek Geological Site

    Southeast of town, boiling springs and steaming vents color a creek canyon in blues and greens, a vivid reminder of the volcanic activity beneath the region. Swimming is prohibited.

  6. 06

    Yosemite’s Tioga Pass Entrance

    When Tioga Road opens in summer, Yosemite’s high country, including Tuolumne Meadows and Tenaya Lake, is a scenic drive from Mammoth by way of Lee Vining.
