Forty miles north along US-395 from Bishop then
five miles west on Hwy-203, the resort town of MAMMOTH
LAKES offers the state's premier ski slopes outside the
Lake Tahoe basin, and in summer hosts on- and off-road bike races.
The setting is stunning, but the town is pricey and prone to testosterone
overload. To ski Mammoth Mountain (www.mammothmountain.com),
which looms up behind the resort, pick up lift tickets
($56 per day) from the Main Lodge on Minaret Road, where you can
also rent equipment ($26 for basic skis, boots
and poles), and book three-hour lessons ($48).
In summer, fifty miles of snow-free slopes transform themselves
into the 3500-acre Mammoth Mountain Bike Park
($28 a day for trail access and ski lifts, $47 for 4hr bike rental
plus two lift rides).
One appealing summer-only destination is the DEVIL'S
POSTPILE NATIONAL MONUMENT , seven miles southwest of
the bike park, reached by shuttle bus ($9.50). A collection of
slender, blue-gray basaltic columns, some scaling sixty feet,
the Postpile was formed as lava from a volcanic eruption cooled
and fractured into multisided forms. From here, a two-mile hike
along the San Joaquin River leads to Rainbow Falls
which refract the midday sun perfectly.
