This comprehensive new guidebook was a labor of love for Colleen Dunn Bates, author of Storybook Travels and The Unofficial Guide to California with Kids. An avid skier and hiker, Bates has combined her lifelong love for Mammoth and the Eastern Sierra with her extensive experience as a travel writer and guidebook editor. The result is a great read—a savvy book loaded with essential information for everyone headed to the mountains: rock-climbing 20somethings to car-camping seniors, skiing families to fishing buddies, backpacking adventurers to spa-loving sybarites.
Mammoth from the Inside provides readers with in-the-know reviews of the best places to stay, camp, eat, ski, snowboard, hike, fish, bike and play in this mountain paradise. It’s also full of great tips: where to rent and buy gear, how to find a babysitter, where to find Mammoth’s best margarita, how to avoid speeding tickets on the 395, where to get a good massage, how to prevent altitude sickness, where to find a romantic cabin, and much, much more.
Highlights include:
