Travel Guide Mammoth Lakes

Mammoth Lakes is a small town with a population of over 8,000, which is still little visited due to its limited accessibility. Whether you're a lover of the great outdoors, a fan of skiing or an enthusiast of outdoor summer sports, you'll love it here.Mammoth Lakes was founded by Dave McCoy, an extraordinary man with a passion for skiing and the mountains. With the help of his wife and children, he built the first ski lifts in the 1940s. Glaciers, volcanoes and tectonic plates have created a land of magnificent contrasts: his mad project has come to fruition. In Mammoth, you'll meet charming people who are as sporty as they are fun-loving, and ready to show you the wonders of their region. And if you're looking for a bit of a celebrity vibe, the resort is said to be frequented by celebrities who have come down from Los Angeles to enjoy the great outdoors in total discretion.
