Adventure without a trace

Sustainability in Mammoth Lakes

Here in Mammoth Lakes, we are committed to keeping this place unreal. That means we proactively do less harm and more good. We pick up our trash, put out our campfires, and are kind to our neighbors. These are just a few ways we help steward the land to keep it pristine for current and future generations. It’s why Mammoth Lakes is the Real Unreal, not some filtered version of what the great outdoors is meant to be.

Join us and help protect the magic in these mountains!
