Best Cannabis Retailers To Visit On Your CA Winter Getaway
Grab your mittens and goggles, and we’ll pack your bowl
This winter, millions of us will make our way to the alpine towns across California (and Nevada!) to relish in their scenic beauty, powdery snow, and ample amounts of weed.
To take the guesswork out of where to stop and buy cannabis on your trip, here are recommendations for a handful of top, high-altitude cannabis retailers.
So grab your mittens and goggles, and we’ll pack your bowl.
1. Tahoe (Mountain): California-Nevada border (Northern California)
Embarc – www.goembarc.com / @embarcsupply
An honorable mention to Alameda & Martinez locations for your day-to-day adventures. Embarc is a California retailer focused on demonstrating through action that cannabis can operate mindfully in communities. Embarc donates 1% of all sales in perpetuity to a local Community Investment Fund that is directed by our Community Advisory Board, a voluntary group of local residents and community leaders.
2. Tahoe (North): Nevada-California border (Nevada)
SoL Cannabis & Outdoor Grow – www.solisbetter.com
SoL believes that relying 100% on artificial light does not make sense for anyone involved and natural sunlight just makes sense in creating a difference you can see and taste.
3. Mount Shasta: Siskiyou County (Northern California)
The Green Heart Collective – www.thegreenheartcollective.com
Located in beautiful Mt. Shasta, Green Heart has been around for over a decade providing cannabis to greater North State California.
Mammoth (Mountain): Inyo National Forest (Central California)
Green Mammoth Cannabis Dispensary – www.greenmammoth.com
Opening its doors to the Mammoth Lakes community in 2010, the locally-owned shop was the first – and remains the smallest – recreational dispensary in the Eastern Sierras.
5. Mammoth (South): Independence (Central California)
Oak Creek Dispensary – www.oakcreekdispensary.com
The dispensary’s land is cared for by the Fort Independence Indian Community, a sovereign and federally-recognized Native American Tribe, as well as owns and operates Oak Creek Dispensary and Oak Creek Farms. Oak Creek uses the creek’s sacred waters to cultivate exotic strains of craft cannabis – just like their ancestors did to farm the land.
6. Big Bear (West): San Bernardino (Southern California)
Captain Jacks – www.captainjacks420.com
Sleek design with an on-site consumption lounge. Enough said.
7. Alta Ski Resort (South): California City (Southern California)

Home to California City in Kern County – get some greenery on your drive!
