Fall Color Viewing
October is the best month to see fall colors in Mammoth Lakes. In fact, they hit their peak intensity around the middle of the month depending on temperatures and precipitation. If you can plan your trip around hitting the peak then you’ll never forget it.
If you simply walk down the streets of Mammoth Lakes you’ll see beautiful fall colors in town and on the surrounding mountains. If you want to be further immersed in the colors then you can drive, walk, or bike into the Lakes Basin. Convict Lake is also a beautiful place to be in fall, and McGee Canyon has excellent views with bright yellow aspen trees close by.
