Family snowshoeing on this short loop trail is a great introduction to winter activities in Mammoth Lakes and the unique winter charms of Shady Rest. Great if you’re looking to get acclimatized or hone your snowshoe skills, the moderate terrain winds through a beautiful Jeffrey pine and red fir forest. Bring your own snowshoes or check for rentals in Town. The groomed winter trails in Shady Rest are located right at the entrance to Town and are accessed from the Welcome Center and Ranger Station.  This easy looped experience is shared with a variety of users, including snowshoers and dog walkers, so please be mindful of others and share the trails. Weather permitting, the trails are groomed 5 days a week and are free and open to the public.
