Celebrating 30 Years – 1988 to 2019
Situated between Bishop and Mammoth Lakes, on the eastern side of California’s High Sierra Mountains, is the quiet and secluded wilderness estate of Rainbow Tarns. Open from the first of April until the end of October each year, you can enjoy Spring, Summer or Fall in the spectacular eastern Sierra with your relaxing stay here.
