Bring a mammoth sized appetite for year-round recreation and adventure when you explore Mammoth Lakes in Mono County, California. Known for legendary skiing and snowboarding, Mammoth is just as popular in the summer with great trout fishing, mountain biking, hiking, camping, golf, and horseback riding. Jazz, blues and arts festivals fill the summer events schedule.

Sightseeing in the Mammoth area includes Devil's Postpile National Monument, Rainbow Falls, Minaret Vista, historic mine sites and museums. Don't miss a scenic ride to the top of Mammoth Mountain's 11,053 summit and the new Top of the Sierra Interpretive Center.

This busy hub of Mono County offers a full range of destination resort amenities, including accommodations ranging from 4-star hotels to campgrounds, and dozens of restaurants and unique shops.

Stop by the Mammoth Lakes Welcome Center at the entrance of town for maps and information.
