What to do in Mammoth

Mammoth has a variety of sights to see in the summer months. It’s proximity to Yosemite makes it really a special place. Most people don’t realize that Mammoth Lakes itself once was a part of Yosemite and rivals some of the scenery found in Yosemite Park. The numerous lakes and valleys surrounding Mammoth are simply extraordinary.

Mono Lake, Rainbow Springs, Devils Post pile, a variety of Hot Springs, lakes and rivers for fishing, are all good options. There are trails for hiking, mountain bike riding, and snowmobiling. Unlike a many mountain areas the drive to Mammoth from the Los Angeles area is a straight shot across the desert region (Owens Valley) past many fabulous landmarks as well.  But what make this drive so special is the simplicity of it.  Most mountain regions have exhausting switchbacks and narrow roads that go on for miles and miles. Traveling to Mammoth is a nice gentle grade until you reach the town.

 

Mammoth Mountain is a large lava dome complex that lies to the west of the town of Mammoth Lakes, California in the Inyo National Forest. It is home to a large ski area.

Mammoth Mountain was formed in a series of eruptions that ended 57,000 years ago. However, Mammoth still produces hazardous volcanic gases that kill trees and have caused ski patroller fatalities.
