Mammoth Lakes

Tucked along the eastern flank of the Sierra Nevada, Mammoth Lakes is a place whose character is shaped by high-altitude volcanic terrain and deep winter snow. Mammoth Mountain rises immediately southwest of town, while the Mammoth Lakes Basin holds a chain of alpine waters including Lake Mary, Lake Mamie and Twin Lakes. The area sits close to the Long Valley Caldera, one of California’s most prominent volcanic landscapes. Mammoth Mountain Ski Area, operating since 1953, has made the town a major base for skiing and snowboarding as well as summer hiking, cycling and fishing.
