Mammoth Lakes is the crown jewel mountain village of the Eastern Sierra. Nestled in Jeffrey pine forest up next to the towering High Sierra, it’s hard to imagine a more picturesque mountain village. Mammoth Mountain dominates the skyline with the jagged Minarets and Ritter Range showing off as well. Can you imagine a more perfect location for your Eastern Sierra wedding or adventure elopement?
As nature lovers and mountain enthusiasts, we have always been drawn to the breathtaking landscapes of the Eastern Sierra. From the soaring peaks and the serene beauty of the area’s lakes and meadows, to the boulder strewn high desert, there is no shortage of stunning backdrops to capture the beauty of your wedding day. Whether you want to take advantage of one of the many fine venues, elope in the boulders of the Buttermilks or Alabama Hills, or hike into the mountains, the Eastern Sierra offers tons of options for your wedding or adventure elopement.
Mammoth Lakes may be the heart of the Eastern Sierra’s high country. But the Owens Valley which is home to Bishop and the Alabama Hills offers an amazing year round alternative. And summertime gives you access to Yosemite National Park’s high country around Tioga Pass and Tuolumne Meadows, an alpine wonderland and granite lover’s paradise with domes, meadows and peaks as far as the eye can see. We think Tuolumne Meadows, which bridges the gap between Mammoth Lakes & The Eastern Sierra and Yosemite Valley, might just be the perfect location for adventure elopements and intimate weddings.
Staying in Mammoth Lakes is an ideal location for couples looking to spend their wedding day hiking in the mountains or having an adventure. The potential for a truly memorable adventure elopement experience in the backcountry of the High Sierra is endless. Whether we hike miles and hours for your elopement photography, or just scramble a half hour up a dome in Tuolumne, you’ll get to have an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Hiking elopements have become much more popular and common, and for good reason. The Eastern Sierra around Mammoth Lakes, Lone Pine, and Bishop has some of the most incredible hiking in the world.
