Food We Love:
Roberto’s: (at the corner of Sierra Nevada Rd and Old Mammoth Rd,)has massive burritos and an amazing happy hour.
Elixir Superfoods: (on Main St. across from the post office) Delicious bowls and salads, vegetarian options, hand-pressed juices, smoothies and kombucha!
Giovanni’s: (in Von’s shopping center) Pizza and Italian food- the best calzone you will ever experience.
Petra’s: (across Minaret Rd from the Village) If you are looking to splurge, this is the best restaurant in Mammoth. They are a bit pricey, but definitely the place to go for celebration dinners. Their wine list is the best in town.
Coffee/Drinks:
Stellar Brew: (Bright blue building on Main St.) The best coffee in town with the coziest, homiest vibes. (if you want more industrial modern, try Black Velvet across the street. I don’t like their coffee as much but some people rave about it)
Mammoth Tavern: Great cocktails and delicious food too.
Distant Brewing: Located in the old police station on Old Mammoth Rd, Distant has a really wide range of great beers, ciders, seltezers, and non-alcoholic beer.
Indoor Activities:
Mammoth Rock n’ Bowl: (Chateau Rd.) Great for when the weather is crummy!
Minaret Cinemas: Recently upgraded twin theater in the Vons shopping center.
Apres Zen: Yoga and wellness studio located in the Outlet Malls. If you’re looking for a challenge, I recommend Kendi’s alignment classes!
Favorite Summer Hikes:
Crystal Lake: 3.2 miles round trip, with approximately 700 ft of elevation gain leads you to a lovely alpine lake. Start in the Lake George trailhead.
Horseshoe Lake: Take an easy walk around the lake, pretty flat and great for kids, bikes allowed. 1.8 mile loop.
Dragon’s Back: Steep terrain but excellent views! Start in the back of the Twin Lakes campground and climb straight up (approx 3 miles, with 2000ft elevation gain) to the summit of Mammoth Mountain. You can turn around from there, or take the gondola ride down for free!
