More than one way to get to Mammoth 
The old standard was drive and drive and drive and several hours later, barring you didn't get a speeding ticket you arrived in Mammoth. Granted, the drive is an easy highway drive with great scenery,one of a kind diners and other funky places to stop grab a bite, stretch your legs and then get back on the road. For those of us who have done this for years this is part of the price for admission to get to Mammoth. Well, now the price for admission had just gotten easier.

The past few years Horizon Air has been flying into the Mammoth Yosemite Airport and this year they have expanded their service to year round with flights to Mammoth from LAX once a day, April through September. As for the Winter schedule flight will depart daily with non stop service from LAX to Mammoth and also daily nonstop service from San Jose and direct service from Portland.

In addition to Horizon Air, United Airlines will be offering service to Mammoth Lakes with daily flights from San Francisco (SFO)staring December 16, 2010. United has one daily nonstop flight from San Francisco to Mammoth Lakes this winter and spring.

The best part is that the flights are scheduled to take between 50-70minutes from LAX to Mammoth Lakes and only 60-70minutes from San Francisco to Mammoth. A far cry from the several hours on the road. Imagine, you could be skiing or boarding by noon.

In addition to convenient flights you will also be able to earn miles when you fly. Check with Horizon (800)547-9308 and United (800) 864-8331 for requirements and rewards.

Give MammothRentalByOwner a call or email us prior to your arrival to arrange for taxi service from the airport directly to your rental.

Mammoth Scenic Loop 
For those of you who have enjoyed sledding, snowshoeing, snow mobiling or biking on the Mammoth Scenic loop or even taking the back way to Hwy 395 to June Lake the following will be good news.

The scenic loop is being reconstructed this summer and fall to improve drainage and to also add an 11 foot wide travel lanes and a 5 foot wide bike lane.
This will make it safer for cars and people that want to sled, snowshoe, snowmobile or bike.There will be more room for all.

Mammoth Rental by Owner.com has come to find that the Town of Mammoth Lakes has been working with the USFS and the FHA to reconstruct the Mammoth Scenic Loop since 2002.

Adventure Stories 
Well, this isn't much of an adventure story except for the fact that we would not have found this great eatery if our reservation agent at mammothrentalbyowner.com had not mentioned it us.

So for great eats check out our story.

Our family was in Mammoth a month ago for our annual summer vacation. What a great place. I wanted to share a surprise we came upon by accident. On our way back from Tioga Pass, where we had been hiking all day with the kids (at the junction of Tioga Pass and HWY395 just before Lee Vining) we pulled into to the Mobile Gas station for some gas and the kids were hunger and wanted a snack. Much to our surprise we came upon a fabulouse restaurant in the Mobile Mart Gas Station. The menu was extensive, the food was GREAT and the atmosphere was casual and very comfortable. There was indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside and enjoyed the view and the kids got to run around on the grass. This is NOT your typical gas station, in fact it is far from it. Anyway, the place was packed obviously everyone else knew about this fantastic restaurant in the Mobile Mart . We also found out that they have live music on certain nights and as we had 4 days left of our vacation we decided to make the drive from Mammoth back to the Mobile Mart for diner the next night as the band would be playing. Well, it was worth the 30min drive from Mammoth to have great food (we think it is the best in Mammoth) , entertainment, a view and lots of room for the kids to run and play while my husband and I enjoyed a beautiful evening, wonderful food and great music. I'm getting ready to fix dinner at home and it reminded me of the wonderful experience we had at a gas station, the Mobile Mart Gas Station, and how I wished I could be there right now. I never would have guessed I'd be writing about a wonderful dining experience at a gas station, go figure. I guess small wonders never cease. If you go you will not be disappointed :)
