40 miles E of Yosemite; 319 miles E of San Francisco; 325 miles NE of Los Angeles

High in the Sierra, just southeast of Yosemite, Mammoth Lakes is surrounded by glacier-carved, pine-covered peaks that soar up from flower-filled meadows. It's an alpine region of sweeping beauty and one of California's favorite playgrounds for hiking, biking, horseback riding, skiing, and more. It's also home to one of the top-rated ski resorts in the world. At an elevation of 11,053 feet, Mammoth Mountain is higher than either Squaw or Heavenly so the snow stays firm longer in the year for spring skiing. You won't find the long lift lines that you find at Tahoe, either -- there's more mountain and fewer people.
