The Mammoth Lakes Trail System offers a wide array of biking options for cyclists of all skill sets. Adventurous bicyclists can challenge themselves with a climb up to the Minaret Vista and enjoy the view of the Ritter Range before descending the steep road to Reds Meadow. Leisurely bicyclists can explore the Lakes Basin Path, which winds past alpine lakes and provides magnificent viewpoints. Riders will likely see cascading waterfalls, wildflowers and the Mammoth Crest. The network of bicycle routes is accessible from almost anywhere in town, so all you need to do to get riding is pedal out your front door.
