The best first resource for books, brochures, maps, permits and personalized information is the interagency Welcome Center. In the field and on the trail, look for Mammoth Lakes Trail System signs with maps, photographs, and interpretive information specific to each location. Interpretive trails and sites include the Mammoth Consolidated Mine, the Sotcher Lake Nature Trail, Devils Postpile, Minaret Vista, and the Agnew Meadows Wildflower Trail. The interpretive center at the top of the Mammoth Mountain gondola features exhibits on geology, topography and weather.
