Research projects must be related to the geographic area. Spouses and family members not engaged in research will be accommodated on a space-available basis. Public accommodations, including campgrounds, are available in the Mammoth and Convict Lake areas.

Upon arrival at the reserve please read the posted information and Emergency Action Plan in each residence for detailed information.

NO FIREARMS, NO SMOKING, AND NO PETS ARE PERMITTED ANYWHERE ON THE RESERVE. IF YOU VIOLATE THESE RULES, YOU WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE.

In an effort to keep our facility use rates low no janitorial services are provided. Users are expected to leave residences, labs, offices, and shops cleaner than they found them. In this way conditions will improve instead of degrade. Cleaning supplies are provided in all buildings. Failure to adequately cleanup will result in cleaning fees and prejudice future visits by the group.
