I've been fortunate to live all over the world, but I always love coming Hidden now that one of our homes is in Mammoth Lakes, CA.
I also run a small ranch, Honey in the Rock Ranch in the Mojave Desert of So Cal where we have chickens, peacocks, turkeys, goats --and a Rhodesian Ridgeback rescue who has turned out to be an excellent ranch-protector, herding dog, and friend.
I'm a teacher, beekeeper, and mom to four rowdy boys. I've loved the same guy, a test pilot, for 25 years and our life together has been a true adventure.
I'm the Adventure Refined Travel Team Lead so I'll be available to you before, during and after your stay. We are looking hosting you!

Because I'm me I've taken the editorial liberty of 'extending' his comments. Click here for his advice, my commentary, and more fantastic

Bear-proof your vacation in Mammoth Lakes
Its not uncommon to come across a bear or two when you visit Mammoth. In fact, just last week a bear yanked out the back window of my car and hopped in. He cruised the neighborhood the rest of the week, always evading Mammoth PD when they would arrive.

Dog Day Dangers
One of the hidden secrets of Mammoth Lakes is that the summers are equally breathtaking, but less crowded, than the winters. And unlike winter--when activities are somewhat limited--in summers the lakes, hills, trails, waterfalls, and mountain all offer unlimited adventure.
