Rainbow Falls.
Free FUN!
5 miles round trip.
Level-Moderate
*When we took our kiddos a few years ago, we had to carry our toddler back. It can be a tough hike for littles. :)

Devils Postpile.

This unique geological structure features thousands of hexagonal basalt columns formed 100,000 years ago when lava flow slowed and then cooled and cracked. The area is accessible in summer months, and a mandatory shuttle offers visitors transportation to Devils Postpile and other Reds Meadow areas. Catch the shuttle from the Mammoth Adventure Center at Mammoth Mountain Main Lodge.
Visiting Devils Postpile requires a one-mile roundtrip hike.

Mammoth Stars.
Stars are always FREE!
AMC’s son took this photo of the stars in Mammoth Lakes. For some amazing free star gazing in the summer visit Minerate Vista.
The best star viewing is in an area with no obstruction from buildings or trees. Even steep canyons or valleys limit the amount of night sky you will see. Find an open meadow or a mountain pass for your stargazing destination
