There are natural craters all throughout Mammoth Mtn and this is one of them. You can hike down to the bottom. It's actually quite a whole different world. There's a murky swamp and various types of insects, birds, and plants. The other crater right next to it is much bigger and steeper and there is NO WAY that you'll be able to hike down that one.

Off of the main highway that leads into Mammoth proper, there is a little side road by the Fish Hatchery. This little side road takes you to a hidden valley where a hot spring has evolved over the years. There are patches of really hot water and then, there are patches of really cold water that streams down from the Sierra Nevadas. The hot springs come from the hot magma underneather Mammoth Mountain. Mammoth is actually a volcanic mountain that is still somewhat active. There are no eruptions, but the volcanic activity is what creates this hot magma underground. Be careful though, because there are certain areas where the water will scorch you to death. There are signs for the areas that are too hot.

Thanks for the restaurant tips on Mammoth. We're going to be there next Thursday before going to climb Whitney. ~ Andy | DSwede Wed Feb 22, 2006 00:54 UTC
Oh, someone else who loves the trails of the Sierras! You should hike Desolation in the south of Tahoe!! I hope your work will change to let you get out and play more! | chewy3326 Sun Feb 5, 2006 23:50 UTC
