Our kids LOVE the "taco wedge" appetizer. Think: calzone with the insides of a taco - meat, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce - baked to perfection!

Across from Mammoth Main Lodge - it is a great stop for food year around with a German flare! But, we love to go there during the summer and share a 3 lbs. pretzel, no joke! - while watching all the hikers, bikers, and outdoor activity junkies!

If you are making a trek North to June Lake (just about 40 minutes) or on your way to Mono Lake and the Eastern entrance to Yosemite, this is worth the stop! Only beers sold on the inside - but stop by the amazing Asian Fusion food truck, Ohana's 395 on the outside for some Poke Nachos that they will deliver inside the brewery. They are open both in summer and winter.

Another great brewery to try out in the middle of town, across the street from Vons off Old Mammoth Road. A good place to go have some brewery snacks plus a cold beer after a long day on the mountain or big hike to refuel. Pool table and board games so you can bring the kids if they want to have a root beer.

Mammoth has no end of brewery's to explore - and this one is another not to miss. Plenty of beers to choose from - AND, last time we were there, they still had the enormous 2 lbs. pretzel appetizer you can get at the Yodler near Main Lodge to go with your beverage.

This 5.3-mile paved multi-use path connects the North Village to Horseshoe Lake and passes many popular Mammoth Lakes destinations, such as Twin Lakes Vista, Tamarack Lodge, Lake Mamie, and Horseshoe Lake, along the way. It may be accessed at many points along its length via the Lakes Basin Trolley. The descent from Horseshoe Lake to the North Village is 1,000 vertical feet; downhill users can accelerate quickly and must control their speed. This trail is not maintained in the wintertime.

There are two primary trails that leave from the parking area and connect to the summit rims of the three volcanic craters. The parking area, located 3 miles north of the Mammoth Scenic Loop on a graded dirt road through old-growth Jeffrey pine forest, includes a restroom and interpretive information. The craters were formed by a series of small but violent steam-blast eruptions about six hundred years ago. The two southernmost craters are approximately 200 feet deep and contain small lakes. Views stretch from San Joaquin Ridge to the Mono Craters to the White Mountains. Access in winter is by snowshoes, skis or snowmobile.

Amazing hiking amidst volcanic rock formations. Use the bus to get from the Main Lodge down to Devil's PostPile/Reds Meadows. The hike to Rainbow Falls is worth the view if you have time and energy! Or hop on the bus and get off at a closer stop to see both without all the effort!
