Are you ready for a Mammoth vacation, and by the word, mammoth, it is being referred to as both an adjective and a noun. In adjective form, a mammoth vacation should represent everything in excess. This includes the landscape, which should be covered with thick, mammoth sized forests and vast high-dessert plains. The surrounding mountains should be as beautiful as they are majestic in size. As far as things to do, there should be plenty of activities available 365 days out of the year, and they should not only be abundant, but offer a super-sized experience from the norm.
In Mammoth, California, the east-central Sierra landscape is absolutely breath-taking. The area features sweeping alpine trees, fragrant dessert sage, sparkling June Lakes, 100-foot Rainbow Falls, 11,053-foot mountain summits, the columnar basalts of Devil's Postpile National Monument, and over 30,000 feet of bike/hiking trails, cross-country, and downhill skiing. The skiing in Mammoth itself is considered super-sized, considering its legendary snow packs and extended season, which often stretches across into the summer months. The skiing is only the icing over Mammoth Mountain, considering after Spring thaw, an astounding number of new activities open up, including fishing the lakes, rock climbing, golfing, and horseback riding.
When you are talking Mammoth, you should also be talking Mammoth-sized deals, and Mammoth, California has a variety of places to stay, ranging from amenity rich resorts, luxurious condos, to spacious rentals. The old saying goes: You'll come for the winter, but stay for the summer, but truth be told one of the best times of the year for a Mammoth vacation is May through October when the splendors of nature are among their most grandiose.
