    My kids had fun! Staff were very nice helpful, doesn't give attitude, very friendly. Every single one of them. From the front desk where you pay to the people that's working on the rides. Price very reasonable and place is very clean! We will be coming back.

    Smaller green park with climbing stones and playground equipment. Some shady trees and picnic tables. There is a restroom there but didn't visit it. Walkways, bikeways, brook and mini hiking area connect to this park.

    If you have little one's, you've got to let them blow off some steam here. Summer time is the best time of year to visit the park here. In the winter time the playground is pretty much snowed over and all the swings are taken down. There are 3 different swing sets, each for a different age group. Plus swings and little animal rockers. There are plenty of benches to sit and relax while the kiddo's run around. There are also clean boys and girls restrooms nearby. My favorite part of the park is the rocks in the grassy area adjacent the playground. The rocks range from big to small that kids of any age can test their bouldering skills. Kids can't resist trying to climb bigger and bigger rocks each time. My 3 year old is now climbing the biggest rock only after a few years coming to the park. Yikes!

    Fun in the park

    Mammoth Mountain Scenic Gondola was one of the highlights of our Mammoth trip! We decided to get…read moreon the gondola towards the end of our adventure and turns out we made the right choice! The Gondola takes you up to McCoy where you can get off and enjoy an intermediate course or stay on and head up to the top of Mammoth Mountain! We started off thinking we were going to just enjoy the cafe up there and the views and then some of us would head back down the gondola. Turns out, my boys decided to take the chance and ride down the top of the mountain with me while my wife headed down on the gondola and met us at the bottom after getting some gifts from the gift shop. The way down is a little frightening if I am to be honest but I am a strong believer in the adage, where there is a will there is a way! My boys coming down with me was a wonderful life lesson and a truly exhilarating and exciting adventure! I highly recommend taking the gondola to the top! 5 stars for sure and 2 thumbs up!!

    The views from the top are amazing (on a clear day). Whether skiing/snowboarding and heading to…read morethe top, or just here to enjoy the scenery and surroundings, it's more than worth a visit. Personally a clear day after a storm is the best! The gondola ride up is quick and enjoyable. On busy days, they will fill the cabin, so be ready for a tight squeeze. It's almost ski/boarding season!

The metal plane door looking structure is a scientific instrument used to measure for earthquakes and changes in the mountain. If you decide to come do this just be aware of the dirt road getting here and that parking down by trailhead has large moguls in road and if your car sits low you are likely to bottom out. There is some traffic here of other explorers so find a spot off the road and walk down.

The road is dirt and mostly easy to navigate. There are a few bumpy sections and limited areas to turn around. There are areas to pull off and explore. If you go all the way to the gate, there is a parking area down a slight hill. When I was there last week, it seemed pretty rutted. I opted to park closer to the highway and walk more. I regular SUV is sufficient to get back here. I low clearance car or minivan may is at your own risk. The dome itself is a pile of rocks. The significance of it is interesting but there is not information at the site to give any history or facts. You essentially walk around and explore looking for interesting pumice or obsidian rocks. The walk to the top is short and moderately steep. I would recommend your walking or hiking shoes. It is also exposed so have sunblock and a hat. Water if need it or expected to stay for extended duration. Price: $0. Overall, a cool place to stop for 30-60 mins off of hwy395. It wouldn't be my only destination but would work in for in the area. It is a cool one for kids and rock lovers.

    The first time I visited HorseShoe Lake, the lot was packed, and the hike was no joke! I was out of…read moreshape, and there was still a lot of snow on the trail in July! It was tough. My cousin even had a close call when he accidentally slid off the trail, ran down 100 feet, and narrowly missed hitting trees. (Slipper snow) Despite the challenges, the reward at the top was well worth it. It was a beautiful, secluded lake. Some of us tried a little fishing, while the girls jumped into the freezing cold water for a swim. The water was so "pristine" that my hair felt conditioned afterward. It was magnificent, the water felt untouched and almost holy! This past summer, we hiked it again for the 4th of July, and it was so much easier because I had lost 20 pounds, haha! I'd say the hike is about 13 minutes up, around 2 miles round trip, and great for all ages. Just make sure you're in decent shape and don't have any serious health concerns. When I was 20 pounds heavier, the hike felt like a 10/10 in difficulty. Now, it's more like a 3/10, a total breeze!

    When you arrive, you see a bunch of dead tree and the waterline really low. Your first impression…read moreis "huh. But as you walk around the lake, you're surrounded by beautiful lush green pines. Small quaint bridges over stream beds. The wind in the trees with a beautiful view of the lake and its surroundings. It's a very easy straight walk. Highly recommend
