Eastern Sierra Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Mammoth Lakes in California is a very popular ski destination, but is also a beautiful place to visit in the off season. The snow covered mountain peaks and first hints of fall colors provided some beautiful scenery during our October visit. #california #mammothlakes #lake #mountains #snow #fallcolors

Early morning view of the Easter Sierra.
Looking down on Palisade Glacier from the summit of Mt Agassiz. It's a big mountain at around 13,900 feet and there isn't a good trail up, but its a pretty straightforward climb if you have some experience and are in decent shape.

Such nice and welcoming staff! The property is older and shows its age;however, it was clean and the bed was great! The place could use an update with the avocado green from the 70s. If you looking for a clean place to sleep this is it!

There was no shade on one window that faced an outside stairway, the door was broken, the shower head was laying on the floor and the air/heat was not working. Victor fixed it all and Larissa at the front desk was great.
