The groomed winter trails are located at the entrance to Town via HWY 203 and are accessed from the Welcome Center/Mammoth District Ranger Station. Terrain includes slight hills as the trails wind through a beautiful Jeffrey pine and red fir forest. These trails are shared with a variety of users, including Nordic skiers, snowshoers, dog walkers, and winter fat bikers. Please enjoy these trails responsibly. Weather permitting, the trails are groomed daily and are free to the public. Visit the Trails Conditions Page for current grooming updates.
