 Find the Wildest Wonders


Picture
No matter how many times you've been to the Eastern Sierra, you can use this map to find off-the-beaten-path locations, sites, hikes, and hidden gems just waiting to be discovered. This year, make the most of your trip by visiting these remote and uncrowded spots, usually only visited by local wildlife -- including the fulltimers. ​
Picture
 One thing is true about the Eastern Sierra -- the weather and road conditions are always changing. And year around, there's so much to do, it's hard to keep track of it all. Lucky for us, Mammoth Lakes Tourism provides a single page, quick reference guide to simplify planning. Check out the link for current conditions plus an overview of other seasons' activities.​
