Mammoth Lakes is the ideal location for independent travelers or escorted tours to use as a hub for exploring all the things that make California’s Sierra Nevada Range so special. Located within one hour of Yosemite National Park, Mammoth Lakes offers travelers the perfect base to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mono Lake is close by, as well as Bodie State Historic Park—California’s official ghost town!

Lodging options are plentiful, with over 4,500 total lodging rooms offering an abundance of inventory at all price points.

The Mammoth Lakes Basin is an outdoor wonderland filled with lakes, streams, abundant wildlife and a network of paved bike trails accessible to all. At Mammoth Mountain, the scenic gondola is open all year round, allowing travelers to experience stunning views from the Top of the Sierra Interpretive Center.
