Have you heard of Devils Postpile?! Take a day trip out to see this geological wonder and stop by rainbow falls on your way! You have to take a bus to get to the trailhead but after that you can hike all around the valley or you can hike up to the top of the Devil’s postpile to get an entirely different view!
Wild Willy's is a natural hot spring just outside of Mammoth that we love to go to. There is a parking lot for easy access, just use the google link below for directions to Willi's Hot Spring Parking. Once you park, the springs are just a short walk down the trailhead. Make sure to bring towels, swimsuits and sunscreen!
Mono Lake is one of our favorite look-outs in all the Eastern Sierra! The Mono Basin Visitor Center is just 30 minutes north from Mammoth and we highly suggest making a pit stop if you head that way! They also have an interactive nature center that's great for the kiddos! PS. If you do stop here, make sure to also stop at Mono Cone for the best soft serve and milkshakes you can imagine
