Recommendations from someone who was born and raised in this beautiful mountain town, from food to activities
Map
One of the top ski resorts in the United States, a must do when visiting in the winter!
Mammoth Mountain
A great place for a comfort meal after a long day of skiing, hiking, or biking. Get in early enough and there’s a pool table and shuffleboard.
John's Pizza Works
My favorite place for coffee or an amazing smoothie, the Stellar Brulé is my favorite, or the green smoothie!
Stellar Brew & Natural Cafe
A delicious hole in the wall where you are made to feel at home the second you walk through the door. Delicious food, the French toast is out of this world.
