Comprising
3,018 square miles, the Mono County's area is marked by the startling
contrast between its eastern and western boundaries. Bounded on the west
by the Sierra Nevada crest, this region is characterized by its mountains,
lakes, streams and forests. Unlike the gentle, rolling escarpment west
of the crest, the eastern slope of the Sierra plunges dramatically to
the valley floors. This is probably the characteristic of the Eastern
Sierra most obvious to the first-time visitor. The Town of Mammoth Lakes
is situated in the southwestern, mountainous region of the county, and
many of its trails, campgrounds and roads either abut or cross the crest
of the Sierra. Included within is one of the finest ski resorts in the
West - Mammoth Mountain Ski Area.
