Adventure at Mammoth Lakes

written by Teresa Nielsen

Welcome to Mammoth Lakes, the ideal place for an unforgettable vacation. From camping and canoeing to golf fairways and tennis courts, there is definitely something for everyone! The kids will love a hayride or even a hike through the lush Inyo National Forest. Looking for adventure? This is the perfect place for ATV rides, 4-wheeling, and rock climbing. If you want to explore outside of Mammoth Lakes, take a short day trip to State Historic Park. Now a ghost town, Bodie was once a booming gold-mining town. Over fifty years ago the residents of Bodie abandoned the town and today it remains in a state of “arrested decay.” Visitors can see homes and classrooms exactly as they were left, and marvel at the mystery that surrounds this ghost town.

“Day 1 was spent at Iris Slab in the Inyo National Forest - not the easiest area to access with a wobbly log across a wide stream testing our balance and coordination skills early on! It was a good spot to practice belaying each other and also great for V to learn how to “fall” off the rock - to prove that all the safety systems we were learning worked! The granite slab was very different to Smith’s tufty hardened volcanic ash, it was much dirtier!

Day 2 was a long dusty drive to Area 13 at Clark Canyon, to some harder climbs on a tufty type rock. We felt v safe in the company of what seemed like the entire Mammoth Ski Patrol who had chosen the same spot for the day” (more…)
