All of the Activities

  • Every day in the Eastern Sierra is another opportunity for adventure. From casting a line into a clear alpine lake to traversing a high ridge on snowshoe, throwing a stick for the dog in a flower-filled meadow to ripping through miles of OHV roads and trails, if you can do it outdoors, you can do it on the Mammoth Lakes Trail System. Whether you’re out for a solo exploration or just want to take a quick spin on your lunch break, there’s something for everyone, including ADA-accessible experiences.
