1) Mammoth Mountain
At 11,059 ft Mammoth mountain is the highest ski resort in California and receives a large amount of snowfall compared to other Eastern Sierra peaks. About 400” annually. The Ski resort was founded in 1953 and has been providing endless entertainment for skiers, boarders, snowmobiles, and sightseers since.

2) Rainbow Falls
Rainbow Falls is the highest waterfall on the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin River plunging 102 ft and eventually snaking all the way to San Francisco Bay. The falls are named for the rainbows that appear in their mist on sunny summer days.

3) Devils Postpile
Molten lava and glacial ice shaped these unusual rock columns. Basaltic lava more than 400 feet deep filled this narrow valley nearly 100,000 years ago. As the lava cooled, cracks formed on the surface to release built-up tension these cracks formed into hexagons which is one of nature's most efficient and stable shapes.

4) Lake Mary
The largest lake in the Mammoth Lakes Basin is nearly a mile long. This is a popular lake for fishing, boating and sailing is a great place to spend a hot summer day. Lake Mary Marina has boats, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and fishing gear rentals.

5) Backpacking/Hiking
My favorite summer activity in mammoth is backpacking with tons of epic trails and alpine lakes that you find a little solitude during sunset. A few of my favorite trails in the area are Duck Pass Trail, Thousand Island Lake, and Mammoth Crest.

6) Biking
Mammoth has loads of bike trails and paths and is extremely bike-friendly. Mammoth mt turns into a mountain biking mecca during the summer months. You can buy a lift ticket for your bike and boom down the mountain.

7) Fishing
Mammoth Lakes basin boasts 5 main lakes most of them stocked with trout! Twin Lakes is the first lake you arrive at and has the best campground in the mammoth lakes area.

8) Convict Lake
Convict lake is one of the most dramatic lakes that I’ve ever visited. Sevehah Cliff, composed of folded metamorphic rock, provides a colorful almost painted backdrop to Convict Lake.

9) Wild Willy's Hot Spring
This is by far one of the coolest things to do in the mammoth area. It’s down far down a rocky road and feels like the middle of nowhere but that’s half the point.

10) June Lake
June Lake is another picturesque lake in the area and one that probably deserves its own video. It boasts fantastic campgrounds, fishing, boating, and my favorite sunning on the beachy shores of the lake.

11) Hot Creek Geological Site
Hot Creek is like a tiny "Yellowstone" in the Mono Lakes region. There are beautiful blue hot pools and steaming water here. There is plenty of parking at the top of the canyon and a quick walk down to the creek is well worth the effort.

12) Mono Lake
Mono Lake is a salt lake that is close to the town of Lee Vining. The lack of an outlet for this lake makes this lake alkaline and helps to provide a perfect and productive habitat for brine shrimp.

13) Minaret Vista
Minaret Vista is a drive-up spot just before the entrance of Devil's post pile national monument. And is a must stop at sunrise or sunset.

14) Twin Falls Overlook
One of the most picturesque overlooks in all of Mammoth is one that you can drive up to. Twin Falls drains Lake Mamie as it tumbles into the Twin Lakes.

15) Earthquake Fault
The ripped-apart rock of the Mammoth Lakes Earthquake Fault shows off the tectonic powers of this ever-changing landscape.

16) Mammoth brewery
No trip to mammoth is complete without a trip to Mammoth Brewery. Perfect for after a day on the slopes or fresh off a backpacking trail in summer.
