Introducing Mammoth Lakes
Mono County's only incorporated municipality, Mammoth Lakes, CA, is located in the Eastern Sierra area of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Mammoth Lakes earned its first post office in 1923, but those who have chosen Mammoth Lakes California vacation rentals have been enjoying the area long before the town's official incorporation in 1984. Dave McCoy founded the renown ski resort that brought Mammoth Lakes fame as a prime vacation spot in California.
