Mammoth Travel Information

Mammoth Lakes CA Information

The Town of Mammoth Lakes CA is centrally located in the picturesque Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains in California, three hours south of Reno, Nevada, and five hours north of Los Angeles and about 5 hours from Las Vegas. It all depends on how many stops you make and how much food in the car you want to consume!

Driving Instructions are easy and the drive in daylight is spectacular especially through Red Rock Canyon, although hard core Mammoth fans drive at night so they won't miss one of our 300 days of sunshine.

TOWN TRANSPORTATION
The Town has year round shuttle bus transportation. There is also dial a ride and various other modes to move you around. You can also use the Mammoth rent a car offices.

TIP: In the winter, Mammoth and the Eastern Sierras are a haven for snow. If you drive in the Winter, please carry chains, or drive a 4WD vehicle to avoid car trouble. You will definitely need them.

Tire chains are cheaper at home than in Mammoth, and more likely to be in stock. Don't worry about putting them on as there are folks to help you for about $40. alongside the road. Again, you will need them. Travel Smart!
