Learn more about Mammoth Lakes

Beneath the shadow of a dormant volcano, alpine lakes mirror pine-studded mountains where black bears occasionally wander through town as if checking their investments. In winter, world-class powder blankets Mammoth Mountain's slopes, while summer reveals hiking trails that wind past wildflower meadows to hidden waterfalls. Take the Village Gondola for panoramic views without breaking a sweat. The eerie tufa towers of Mono Lake rise like ancient sculptures from mineral-rich waters. After skiing or mountain biking, soak aching muscles in natural hot springs scattered throughout the valley. Sierra Star Golf Course offers high-altitude drives where thin air adds distance to every shot. Fish for rainbow trout in Lake Mary, then watch the alpenglow paint the mountains at sunset.
