Mammoth Lakes, California (2013)

It's always helpful to have multiple drivers…



We made it back to Mammoth Lakes in the beautiful High Sierras of California. I have blogged about this area before so I will try not to repeat myself.

Once again, we stayed at the Mammoth RV park. The park offers everything from tents to cabins to full hook up RV camping. In the wooded section you will be on dirt with a little gravel, pine needles and pine cones. Rolling would be easier with fatter tires or a power chair. However, they do offer sites that are on cement and are much more accommodating to someone with mobility limitations.

We arrived at night. The RV park was not well lit and the hookups are hard to see. Fortunately, an RV park employee happened to wander by and offer his assistance.

Mammoth Lakes, California has paved trails throughout the town. There are also an abundance of dirt trails. Some are very rugged but many are smoother hard pack. A rugged manual chair, scooter or power wheelchair would be helpful. Remember this is a mountain community. The up and downhill grades vary.

On this trip we toured the lakes in Mammoth. We went to and drove around Lake Crowley, Lake Mary, Convict and June Lake. Outstanding views everywhere.











We also spent time visiting some favorite restaurants…

The Smokeyard BBQ in the village
Giovanni's Pizza
Roberto's Mexican restaurant

All three restaurants are yummy!!!. At Roberto's, if you want to try a margarita I recommend the pomegranate.
