Fabulous time here today! About 20 of us! A great time had by all! Nice spring conditions. Tails were groomed well. Lifts moved fast. Such an epic day!

Great place to stay, rooms are well kept and clean. Lots of lifts within walking distance of lodge and a couple down the road. A nice restaurant and general store inside. Heated pool and spa as well. Very friendly and polite staff

Great place to for spring skiing! No lines and a lots of different levels of terrain !

I've been coming to Mammoth in winter and summer as a small child. The mountain has amazing scenery and great snow. I highly recommend a visit for anyone that hasn't been. The only reason I would not give 5 stars is because of what they have done with the Ikon pass. It is no longer fun to go during the weekend, it's just way to over crowded and your stuck waiting in line more than on the slopes unless you have a black pass. That said, mid week it's empty and a great time

Great ski resort! Went in late January and mid June and had a blast both times, never thought I’d be able to ski in the summer! The views are amazing and it has plenty of terrain for all rider levels.

Great in both winter and summer! So much to do...trails, waterfalls, boating, skiing, hot springs 😀

Best skiing resort in California as far as I'm concerned! This place is MASSIVE and it has something for everyone, whether you're looking for super steep terrain, trees, or beginner runs. It has one of the longest ski seasons in the nation as well! Check out the apres scene at Canyon Lodge after your day.

Very doable hike with sweeping views. My kids had fun and completed hike with little complaining. They enjoyed and so did I. If you get off at the bus stop, the ranger station has good information for you and there is a water fountain and restrooms. If you're continuing on to Rainbow Falls make sure you have a lot of water and sunscreen/hat.

Currently road under construction so only open Saturday and Sunday and only for a couple more weeks for the year. It will be terrific once done. Most things closed or limited but Postpile walk/hike open. As well as some wilderness areas. High altitude so hiking/walking needs to take that I to consideration. It was difficult for me to hike to top of Postpile.

It was wonderful! The hike to devils postpile and the loop was a fairly easy hike! Kid friendly. It is hot though, bring water and sunscreen

Beautiful spot to explore! Be mindful of hours, they are doing some road work in the park and you may need to take a shuttle in. Beautiful place for sure

What a unique geological formation! Definitely a must, and you definitely need to hike down to lower Rainbow Falls. Worth the trek!

Updated !!!! July 9th 2025 I leave 3 stars to get your attention only. This place not opened for private car and closed from Monday- Wednesday. Also from Thursday to Sunday, you can visit this place by taking the public paid shuttle bus. Gps to the Mammoth Main Lodge. On the right hand side, where you see the big Mammoth Statue. Where you can purchase the shuttle bus ticket. There are 2 free parking spots - one on the far left , one right in front of the ticket kiosk, further than that will be paid parking. Worth a visit if you are at Mammoth town during weekend Downside: shuttle bus required. Google hours ‘s wrong. Waste of time to travel here and cannot drive inside.

From the visitor's center, it is only a couple hundred yards to Devil's postpile. However, I would recommend going a couple of miles further in the same hike and visit Rainbow Falls as well. There are several great campgrounds in the area of Devil's Postpile, with several hiking trails, toilets, and water, although I don't think that the water is potable. Take care if you are pulling a trailer or driving an RV. It is a narrow and winding road down with very few wide spots to pull to one side.

Visited Convict Lake in Mammoth and did the loop hike around the lake—absolutely amazing! The trail is easy and relaxing, offering stunning visuals of the crystal-clear lake surrounded by dramatic mountain backdrops. Every turn gives you a new angle that’s picture-perfect. The reflections on the water are gorgeous, and the peaceful atmosphere makes it a must-do whether you’re hiking, fishing, or just soaking in the views. A true gem in the Mammoth area!

Such a lovely lake in all seasons! My girlfriend and I visited in the winter and it was stunning, such cool waves and mountain views. There is a nice 3-mile trail around the lake that I did in the springtime, it's very lovely. We also saw a really cool red-tailed hawk here too! Be sure to check out Convict Lake while in the Mammoth area :)

Literally the most beautiful lake I've ever seen. I cannot wait to come back here again.

Beautiful lake, super easy access, here is how it looks on oct 16 2025, such a wonderful foliage

Beautiful lake with crystal clear water and light 2.5 mile hike that loops around. Plenty of parking, and the lot is right next to the welcome shack where you can borrow life jackets (for free!) and rent boats/kayaks (prices included in my attached picture). The staff were also super friendly. There’s a launching area where we pumped up our rafts and set sail. It’s kinda the inlet where boats leave out to the main lake/return. My group of 4 rowed from the launching zone to the other end in about an hour where we hung out at a little beach area. Despite there being a few boats, there was almost no visible water pollution and not once did we encounter rowdy parties on a boat. It was very serene and the water temperature was excellent to cool off in from the July heat. I’d absolutely come here again

They say that best views come from the hardest climb, to which Convict lake sets an example to prove it completely wrong. These views are so accessible for anyone, if you want you can enjoy these views from the car, however I suggest that you need to walk this trail and enjoy it to the fullest. We visited this place in End of May 2024 . I was so underestimating this lake due to its easy access and the pictures not doing justice for this mountain and lake. When we visited , it was a bit chilly and the sun was playing hide and seek. The lake color was so visible when in sun , such turquoise waters. The Mount Laurel in the background of lake was so amazing, the sheer hugeness of the mountain so blew me away. The Convict lake & Mount Laurel surely are the match made in heaven. The loop is close to 3 miles long and you can walk for how much ever you want to , we walked closed to one/ one and half mile , went to the beach and took in the views for good amount of time and returned back. I will definitely add this lake to your list when on US 395. I just love this place , and in some way when entering this region it reminded me of Europe. Even the drive to get to this place is breathtaking.

Beautiful lake, it's one of the most accessible lakes in the Mammoth area since you can drive right up to it. I recommend walking on the trail that wraps around the lake, it's pretty flat. Decent amount of parking here, but most of the spots do get filled.

Easy hike from Devil's Postpile monument beyond which is several campgrounds with toilets. Rainbow Falls in Mammoth is a very pretty little Falls but beware during summer months. The hike, though easy, is desolate and there are no trees to offer relief from the heat. Carry water, sunscreen, a good hat, and sunglasses for a fun day out.

Easy hike to the falls! Hike to the bottom use stairs with caution. Bring sunscreen and lots of water. Top 10 waterfall for sure

Beautiful hike and the fall is spectacular The best part of the hike is the drive through the Inyo forest . The road is narrow so be prepared to stop We reached here around 8:00 am and the parking lot was almost full , there are about 25 spots or so Towards the fall the hike is downhill The hike is around 2.6 miles round trip Bring water as it gets warmer during the day You can go all the way down to the falls there are some steep stairs— but definitely worth it

5miles round trip hiking. Gorgeous view with waterfall. Lots of parts are in shade, dog friendly, you will also gain 500-600feets

A beautiful and easy hike! The scenery was breathtaking, and the wild flowers were stunning. I highly recommend going to the bottom of the falls to feel the incredible mist! It was a nice cool off. Can't wait to come back!

Beautiful waterfall in the Mammoth Lakes area. I believe that during certain times of the year, you can drive to the trailhead, but during busy times, you have to take a shuttle from the Mammoth ski area (which adds significant time in waiting for the shuttle, getting there, and then coming back). The trail itself is quite busy but well maintained and fairly easy (a bit more than 2 miles roundtrip I think). There are also steps to take you down to the bottom of the waterfall if you so fancy.

Stayed a week in Mammoth and this was my favorite by far! What an incredible, magical place! My husband and I would have stayed all day if not for our teens complaining LOL The hike was mostly flat. There were a lot of stairs to get down to the waterfall but it was manageable. The second lookout is good spot to take pictures and obviously at the base too. We couldn’t figure out how to get a picture of the rainbow and the waterfall. It was one or the other. It was partly cloudy day and it was before noon, the sun behind the waterfall. Nonetheless, an absolutely glorious place with beauty in all directions!

This place was really good. Plenty of seating indoors and out. The outdoor area lights at night look great. Enjoyed the falafel tacos and veggie burger with side waffle fries. Both good and love rat they had options for non meat eaters. The non alcoholic tap root beer was perfect amount of sweetness with a natural taste. Recommend. Good service too.

A very unique experience. First of all, if you sit outside, you place your order online through your phone — very modern, and honestly I think it’s a smart way to lighten the load for the staff. That said, the prices feel a bit high for a place where you seat yourself, place your own order without staff interaction, and pay upfront (I’ll never understand how I’m supposed to leave a tip for service that hasn’t even been provided yet). As for the food: the pizza was on the small side — definitely not enough to fill up a hungry guy on its own. But to be fair, it was delicious, no doubt about that. Now, the beer? Absolutely amazing — truly some of the best I’ve had in the state. That alone makes this spot worth checking out. I’d recommend this place for the great outdoor vibe, excellent beer, and tasty pizza. Just keep in mind it’s more of a place for a light bite rather than a full meal.

Drinks: The root beer is hands down the best thing to drink here. I would definitely recommend it to anybody who likes root beer. Golden Trout Kolsch is a smooth blonde. Love the taste. Contains German noble hops? Pilsner malt, and yeast. Great beer to just chill with. Mammoth Pilsner was good. Can't really taste the honey or Graham crackers, though. The floral definitely helps give it that unique taste. Yosemite Pale Ale was not my favorite of the flights. A little too strong in taste for me. Double Nut Brown Porter was good. The coffee and nutty taste compliments each other and stands out enough to enjoy. Great to consume with food. Epic IPA is a good IPA. Don't really taste the fruit, but it is smooth to drink. IPA 395 taste better than the Epic IPA. The earthy taste is very unique and refreshing to drink. The sage is very prominent in the taste. Hop Spill Hazy is a good IPA. Probably the best IPA here if you are fan of IPA. Peyton's pilsner tropical flavor is subtle but good. Food: The waffle fries here are pretty good when it's fresh. They were able to replaced the bad batch. Worth trying the fries. Staff: All the staffs were nice and friendly. Very helpful with providing information. Overall, I would come back here to try other things. They have the games playing on the televisions. Plenty of seats as well.

First off: this place ain't cheap! Secondly: they definitely get the food right. The onion rings were terrific with a cornmeal crust. Nice and crunchy like they're supposed to be. The fish and chips again is not cheap but it is real deal fresh fried cod and comes out hot and tasty and crispy and the tartar sauce is definitely worth a shot. We also got the shrimp appetizer which was surprisingly good and not rubbery or any of the other stuff people get away with... This place is definitely worth a stop!

I was so looking forward to going to this brewery because I love their beer. But I was totally disappointed when I was seated at a table and given a plaque with a QR code to order food with my phone. Then you have to pay on your phone to complete your food order, and are then prompted to leave a 20% tip! Tip for what? No Service what so ever! You then have to get up, stand in line to order a beer, and carry it back to your table, and they want a tip for that, too! What is happening in this world when everyone expects a tip for no service?

Really love this place! Maybe my favorite in Mammoth. We ordered the BBQ chicken flatbread, cheese flatbread and brussel sprouts salad. It was a lot of food and so yummy! The kids loved the root beer and my husband and I enjoyed the pilsner beer. I want to come back to try more beers and food. Tip: there's a pool table downstairs. We had a fun family game after dinner.

The beer was good, but the food left a bit to be desired. The hot chicken sandwich was dry (maybe switch to a honey hot?) and the shrimp/fries were a bit over cooked or left under a lamp for too long. The burger was great, but didn’t quite make up for needing to order by phone. Dog friendly!!
