This historic trail from Sherwins Meadow to the old mines at the edge of the Lakes Basin provides grand views across town and can be traveled in either direction: up or down. From a staging area off Sherwin Creek Road the narrow singletrack climbs gently, cutting spectacularly along the steep contour of the Sherwin Range, above Snowcreek Meadow, crossing beneath the prominent outcropping of limestone and marble known as Mammoth Rock and ending at its junction with upper Old Mammoth Road. The trail is best traveled before the heat of the day or in the late afternoon. Yield carefully to other users.
