Mammoth from the Inside: The Honest Guide to Mammoth & the Eastern Sierra

by Colleen Dunn Bates

Make the Most of Mammoth & the Eastern Sierra The popularity of Mammoth Lakes and environs―June Lake, Bishop and the rest of the Eastern Sierra―is booming more than ever. Mammoth From the Inside is the first and only comprehensive guidebook to these popular destinations. It is full of honest, trustworthy, often witty, in-the-know advice and reviews of the best places to stay, camp, eat, ski, snowboard, hike, fish, bike and play in this mountain paradise. You'll also get loads of great tips: where to rent and buy gear, how to find a babysitter, where to find a romantic cabin, how to avoid speeding tickets on the 395, where to get a good massage, how to prevent altitude sickness, where to find the best margarita and much, much more. Just some of the essential information in Mammoth from the Inside: "A crisp, clear and eminently readable book―I can't quibble with a word in it!"
―Andrea Mead Lawrence, Olympic skier and Eastern Sierra preservationist
