Aspen Springs, CA

Aspen Springs is a quiet mountain enclave set along the eastern base of the Sierra Nevada at roughly 7,100 feet in elevation. Home to around 70 residents, this small community sits right between Mammoth Lakes and Bishop, about 17 miles southeast of Mammoth and 26 miles northwest of Bishop. The high-altitude setting provides wide-open mountain views and a peaceful rural atmosphere, while keeping both regional hubs within an easy drive along Highway 395.

Because Aspen Springs is purely residential, locals head into neighboring towns for groceries, healthcare, and dining. Families are served by the Mammoth Unified School District, with students making the trip up to Mammoth Lakes for elementary through high school. Living here offers a blend of quiet open space, crisp alpine weather, and quick access to year-round Eastern Sierra recreation, backed by the conveniences of larger towns nearby.
