Where to Find Fall Colors Near Mammoth Lakes

Updated October 28, 2022

Fall in the Eastern Sierra is known for supplying unreal landscapes beyond your wildest dreams. Pops of color set against the grandeur of the mountains make leaf-peeping in our region completely unique, and this year was no exception.

The past six weeks have been full of beautiful, and colorful, pockets of wonder around the region, but like all good things, fall must come to an end so we can look forward to it again next year. Currently, everything above 7,200′ in our region is past-peak. If you come up this weekend you might find some hidden color, but this is officially our last report of the season.

Whether you had a chance to visit us this fall or not, please take some time to enjoy these photo highlights from the spectacular 2022 fall season in the Mammoth Lakes region. Use them for inspiration and continue to share your favorite photos with us on social media at @visitmammoth // #VisitMammoth.

Thanks for enjoying a truly wonderful fall with us this year. Now bring on the snow!
