Incorporated in 1984, Mammoth Lakes is a relatively young town located in the Inyo National Forest, Mammoth Ranger District. The town is surrounded by vast acres of forest and is bordered by the Ansel Adams and John Muir Wilderness Areas. Yosemite National Park's eastern entrance is located just 32 miles north of town and it is short 100-mile drive to the valley floor.

The town occupies a site in the southern half of Mono County, a stunningly diverse region of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Comprising 3,018 square miles, the County's area is marked by the startling contrast between its eastern and western boundaries. Bounded on the west by the Sierra Nevada crest, this region is characterized by its mountains, lakes, streams and forests. Unlike the gentle, rolling escarpment west of the crest, the eastern slope of the Sierra plunges dramatically to the valley floors. This is probably the characteristic of the Eastern Sierra most obvious to the first-time visitor. The Town of Mammoth Lakes is situated in the southwestern, mountainous region of the county, and many of its trails, campgrounds and roads either lie adjacent to or cross the crest of the Sierra. Included within is one of the finest ski resorts in the world - Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.

Our new home is located at the Town of Mammoth Lakes Tourism and Recreation Department off Main St. at the entrance to town. Please stop by and visit.
