The largest tourist attraction in the caldera is the [[Mammoth Mountain Ski Area]]: the area offers [[skiing]] and [[snowboarding]] in the winter, and [[mountain biking]] in the summer.  The [[Hot Creek (Mono County, California)|Hot Creek]] tourist attraction was closed to swimming in 2006 due to increased geothermal activity.

[[Hiking]] and [[off-road vehicle]] driving is available throughout the caldera, and in the glacial valleys of the [[Sherwin Range]], immediately to the south of the caldera. Hikers can hike to several lakes in these glacial valleys, including [[Valentine Lake]], [[Convict Lake]], [[Lake Dorothy (California)|Lake Dorothy]], and [[Laurel Lakes]].  [[Crowley Lake]], at the south end of the caldera, is noted for its fishing.

The nearest hotel accommodations to the caldera are in [[Mammoth Lakes, California|Mammoth Lakes]]. There are also campgrounds scattered throughout the caldera, and in the mountains near the edge of the caldera.
