Mammoth Consolidated Mine
A gold mine site from the 1920s–30s, with its wooden cabins, mining machinery and workers' quarters preserved as a window into the early history of the Mammoth Lakes town.
The Mammoth Consolidated Mine lies beside Coldwater Campground. It operated between 1927 and 1933, and its remains include wooden workers' dormitories, a superintendent's house, ore-car tracks and boilers and other machinery. A self-guided interpretive trail of about 1 km, lined with information signs, tells the story of the mining origins of the Mammoth Lakes town. Admission is free. It pairs well with the Duck Pass Trail or a visit to Lake Mary. The structures are unstable, so do not enter or climb on them.
