Things to Do

Welcome to Mammoth Lakes, California. Sure, it's pristine here. But it's the opposite of boring. There is so much to do in Mammoth Lakes you can't do it all in one weekend - or even a week. Use this site to plan your adventures, activities, explorations and excursions. Here are some tips to get you started:

Ideas for Family Fun- Mammoth vacations soar off the charts of kids' fun-ometers. There are boundless educational opportunities that involve exploring the outdoors. Mammoth Lakes is also home to arcades, swimming pools, and so much more.
Arts, Culture and Heritage- Our community of artisans and performers grows with every season. Explore photography, galleries, outdoor art fairs, theatre performances, heritage, festivals and more! 
 
See the Sights- Take the opportunity of being in one of the most geographically studied parts of the world by exploring breathtaking natural wonders that surround Mammoth Lakes. Visit neighboring Mono Lake and in the non-winter months, explore Yosemite National Park, Bodie Historical Park and Devils Postpile. These exciting destinations each located 30 to 90 minutes on Hwy 395 and make excellent day trips from Mammoth Lakes.   

Take a gondola ride to the top of Mammoth Mountain and enjoy 360 degree views from the Top of the Sierra. Pick up your downhill cadence on a mountain bike. Breeze down wildflower-adorned slopes, traverse moderate fire roads or ride a river cut canyon from end to end. Urban adventures exist as miles of paved paths meander throughout the Town of Mammoth Lakes. Not many places allow you to experience the comforts of home in such proximity to infinite wilderness. Mammoth Lakes is one of those places.
