Something about Mammoth Mammoth Lakes, California is a small but lively spot of only four square miles and about 7,000 year round residents. Bounded on the west by the Sierra Nevada crest, the region's base altitude is 7800 feet and is characterized by its mountains, lakes, streams and forests. Included is one of the finest ski resorts in the West; Mammoth Mountain Ski Area. The Town of Mammoth Lakes economy is tourism-based with nearly 8500 rental units in Mammoth Lakes. The geographic location, 160 miles south of Reno; 220 miles from Sacramento and 325 miles north of Los Angeles and only 32 miles south of the eastern entrance to Yosemite National Park, makes it a natural nucleus for winter and summer activities.
