Mammoth Lakes is a DogTrekker favorite located in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains. It’s known for its natural beauty, dog-friendly hiking trails and activities, and a range of accommodations and dining options. This is a truly friendly mountain town – and that means it’s people-friendly, adventure-friendly and very dog-friendly for visitors.

Team DogTrekker recommends that you start your Eastern Sierra adventure with a stroll around the Mammoth Lakes Town Loop. This easy paved trail takes you by the Mammoth Lakes Welcome Center, where you can soak up some local knowledge as you outline your activities. Read more stories about Mammoth Lakes.
