Why Mammoth Lakes, CA
Mammoth Mountain is the highest ski resort in California, with terrain that holds snow into late spring. Come summer, the Eastern Sierra opens up: Devils Postpile, Rainbow Falls, and Convict Lake hiking are all within an hour. It's the kind of place where families come back every year and people retire to.
Highlights
- Mammoth Mountain ski area — 3,500 acres, 28 lifts
- Rainbow Falls trail — 101 feet of Eastern Sierra waterfall
- Convict Lake fishing and picnicking
- Village gondola for non-skiers in winter
- Mono Lake tufa formations and Bodie ghost town nearby
