Reds Meadow Resort is W of Mammoth - at the end of the road into Devils Postpile area...
See <http://www.redsmeadow.com/how-to-get-there.html>...

One without special dietary needs 'should' be able to find enough in the store to
make it N (2 days for a thru-hiker) to Tuolumne Meadows - otherwise take the shuttle to 
Mammoth Mountain Lodge, then bus into Mammoth Lakes...  One can also walk taking a trail 
to Lake Mary then road walk (bus??) on down to Mammoth Lakes...

Happy trails!!!
