Panorama Dome

This is a great short hike, located near the turn off for Twin Lakes. Once you reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with 360 degree views of the lakes basin, the town, Mammoth Mountain, and the White Mountains. There was a little snow left at the top, when we hiked it over Memorial Day weekend.  Even if Lake Mary Road is closed off, this trail is accessible.  You can take the lakes basin trolley, park off the road near the trailhead, or in the Twin Lakes Vista lot.  I’ve heard this is also accessible during the winter with snowshoes.  If you want to continue your trek, consider extending to Mammoth Rock.
