A family skiing on a June Lake vacation in winter.

No matter the time of year, June Lake is filled with endless adventure. However, a whole new world of fun opens up when the snow starts to fall. June Lake in the winter feels like stepping into a snow-dusted postcard. Whether planning a romantic retreat or a family-friendly getaway, this Eastern Sierra town offers plenty of things to do without having to stray far from your June Lake Accommodations rental. To help you plan your unforgettable winter vacation, we’ve put together a list of things to do that are within roughly 30 minutes of June Lake.

Go Skiing at June Mountain Ski Area

Just up the road is June Mountain Ski Area, a favorite for skiers and snowboarders who want big-mountain terrain without the crowds. With wide-open runs, beginner-friendly slopes, and stunning views of Carson Peak, it is a great option for all ages. 

Snowshoe or Cross-Country Ski the June Lake Loop

When June Lake Loop transforms into a winter wonderland, one of the best ways to explore it is on a snowshoeing or cross-country skiing adventure. Explore trails like the ones near Gull Lake or Silver Lake, both of which are ideal for beginners and feature stunning views.

Soak in a Hot Spring

After a day out on the slopes, warm up in an Eastern Sierra hot spring. Head to nearby Mammoth Lakes and you can relax in the Hilltop Hot Springs. This is one of the most popular options in the area, but you’ll still enjoy a peaceful soak surrounded by a snowy backdrop.

Explore Mammoth’s Lake Winter Trails

Make the short drive to the Mammoth Lakes Basin and you’ll find miles of groomed trails. Go snowshoeing, fat-tire biking, or cross-country skiing. You can rent equipment from places like Tamarack Cross-Country Ski Center.
