mammoth lakes, california

Hi! Have you been to Mammoth Lakes, California? If not, you should! The air is crisp and clean, the views are stunning, and the people are friendly. It's basically a lazy ski town. What's not to love?! My husband and I love hiking and the outdoors, so it was a perfect weekend getaway for us.

We hiked Mammoth Mountain for a total of 6 hours to an elevation of just over 11,000 ft. on a snowy trail. Luckily it was slushy and not icy!

We were only planning to hike half of what we ended up doing, but we met two hikers along the way who suggested we make the trek to Duk Lake. Why not? We were almost there. Wrong! It look another 1.5 hours of hiking to get there. But, it was absolutely worth it. This is what we saw:

If you are looking for a great place to hike, head up to Mammoth Lakes. You won't be sorry!
