There is no right time of year to visit Mammoth Lakes. Here you’ll discover an array of activities and unreal scenic beauty that simply change with the seasons. The magic never dims, the temperatures just rise or fall.
Which season is best? We all have our favorites, so we’ll let you be the judge.
During winter, you can ski and snowboard Mammoth Mountain or take off into the wilderness on your cross-country skis. When the snow starts to melt and spring arrives, experience the Mammoth trifecta by skiing in the morning, golfing in the afternoon and celebrating the fishing opener that evening. Summer means perfect weather on the water and in the woods. Plus, with the snow melted, roads open up making Mammoth Lakes a basecamp for visits to Devils Postpile National Monument, 101-foot Rainbow Falls, Yosemite National Park and thousands of miles of backcountry adventure. Next up is the slower pace of fall, where you can experience the vibrancy of changing colors set against majestic mountains, quieter trails and a peaceful atmosphere.
