Mammoth Lakes, in the Sierra Nevada mountains of east-central California, features spectacular winter playgrounds at its ski resorts and in the sweeping countryside around them. Rolling hills, icy alpine lakes, evergreen forests, and steaming geothermal pools create a â¨wonderland amid a backdrop of towering snowcapped peaks.
A visit from the East Bay on a long weekend promises an â¨opportunity to hit the slopes, commune with nature, relax in hot springs, and feast on local cuisine and microbrews. Mammoth is reachable via a quick one-hour flight from SFO (United Airlines â¨has nonstop flights to Mammoth Yosemite Airport) or a 320-mile, five- to six-hour drive from Oakland, weather permitting. â¨(Note: Due to COVID-19 restrictions, expect reduced capacity at all â¨lodging, dining, and indoor facilities.
