Awesome from any Angle: Mammoth Lakes

California has its fair share of beaches and glamour, but there’s another side to the state that’s definitely worth exploring. Dust off your hiking boots and prepare your psyche for an elevated experience, because you’re about to head to the mountain resort of Mammoth Lakes.

When it comes time for winter vacation - that much needed respite in the middle of the school calendar or just a romantic interlude that will refresh and revive you - Mammoth is a good choice. Lifts and gondolas will take you to the top of the snow covered mountains, and it’ll be your job to make a well-executed descent. Ski or snowboard down the well-groomed trails, embracing the chance to feel adrenaline surge through your body as you build enough speed to leave your cares behind. There’s also snowshoeing, sledding, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling as far as energizing outdoor pursuits, and at the end of the day nothing will be better than taking a seat by a warm fireplace with a cup of cocoa in hand.

Of course, summertime in Mammoth Lakes isn’t anything to complain about thanks to abundant sunshine and terrain that calls out to be hiked, biked and generally explored. Lakes and streams amplify the peaceful vibes of Gold Country/High Sierra. The sound of a rushing river makes the perfect backdrop to an afternoon picnic, and horseback riding through the trees and alongside a lake will also bring it all together. Another aspect of the summer is a calendar full of special events; Bluesapalooza, Jazz Jubilee and Spring Fest are a few to watch for in the warm weather months.

Whichever season you choose and whoever you end up bringing along, your Mammoth Lakes experience will most certainly be defined by relaxation. California’s natural gifts and the array of vacation rentals in the area will work together to welcome you with open arms, making you feel as if the Sierras are exactly where you belong.
