Description

Added by Shaneil Weaver

The Lake George Loop is perfect for exploring the shoreline and fishing near the top of the Mammoth Lakes wilderness. The lake can get quite cold due to the elevation and surrounding mountains not allowing the sun to hit it for an extended time, but if you go during mid-day you should have a refreshing dip. If you plan to walk around the entire lake be prepared to maneuver through some brush and trees on the west side.

Lake George Trail

11/09/22

We visited this lake at the beginning of Oct. so a coat was necessary to block out the cold wind. Cabins line the shore on the east side with access to some rock climbing areas nearby. If you are feeling adventurous, there is an almost too-perfect rock cliff nestled above a deep water portion of the lake you can launch off of during the warmer summer days.

Crystal Lake via Mammoth Crest Trail

In Lake George, park along Lake George Road and walk towards Crystal Crag Trailhead sign to begin the hike. If you couldn't find it, you can head to the boat rentals by the lake and you will see a sign saying trailhead is behind you. The trail is well maintained and it is really easy to follow. As you go up, you will slowly have a bigger view of Lake George. There are some big rocks where you ...

Photograph Lake Mary, Mammoth Lakes

Lake Mary is the largest of the 11 lakes in the Mammoth Mountain area. Explore the lake’s perimeter and find your own perfectly peaceful place to watch one of Mammoth’s signature stunning sunsets. Parking is easy to come by either on the side of the road or at the marina parking lot up the road.Bring a few chairs with snacks and drinks, post up at a spot you like and enjoy the view. My favorite...

McLeod Lake

Start your journey at the Mammoth Pass Trailhead at the back of the parking lot for Horseshoe Lake. From the start, the trail ascends steadily through dense pines, and big granite stair steps. Although it is a moderately steep route (and the altitude doesn't help), it is only about 0.6 miles to the edge of the lake. The trail is very well marked, moderately trafficked, and the views are pictur...

Panorama Dome

This is a great short hike, located near the turn off for Twin Lakes. Once you reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with 360 degree views of the lakes basin, the town, Mammoth Mountain, and the White Mountains. There was a little snow left at the top, when we hiked it over Memorial Day weekend. Even if Lake Mary Road is closed off, this trail is accessible. You can take the lakes basin trolley, ...

Emerald Lake

Emerald lake is a relatively short 1.7 mile out-and-back hike. There is ample parking at the parking lot and trailhead. There is also overflow parking at the upper lot for Duck Lake and Skelton Lake. The trail has a decent amount of uphill, but you should arrive shortly (<30 mins) at your destination depending on your group and how fast you're moving. The initial ascent is mostly switchbac...

Duck Lake via Duck Pass Trail

The Duck Pass trail in the John Muir Wilderness combines breathtaking views, wildflowers and plenty of icy mountain lakes for swimming into a trail that is moderate in both difficulty and distance. With multiple lakes along the way to pitch your tent and plenty of day hike options from a base camp, this trail makes a perfect weekend getaway or offers opportunities for longer expeditions into th...
