The Mammoth Lakes Basin sits at 8,996′ and is often referred to as a hidden gem just outside of town. It is a super easy spot to drive to and take in the fall color show.
Currently the most noticeable color change in the Lakes Basin is around the mountainside of Twin Lakes, as well as among the aspens along the right side of Lake George. These areas are in the Patchy range.
The Town of Mammoth Lakes at 7880’ is -Patchy as well with the willows and shrubs around town quickly turning yellow thanks to the recent mix of cold nights and warm days.
The aspens are also beginning to show more color, with a little more yellow appearing each day. Take a walk or bike ride along the Town Loop Path, and you’re sure to spot some early signs of fall.
