10 Outdoor Activities in Mammoth Lakes That You Shouldn't Miss
High in the Eastern Sierra of California is the growing ski resort town of Mammoth Lakes, surrounded by alpine beauty and majesty. Powdered peaks of the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area and surrounding wilderness draw skiers, snowboarders, snowmobilers and ice skaters every winter. Summers are quieter and less crowded, but vacationers in search of the path less traveled will find secluded biking and hiking trails, rushing rivers, icy mountain lakes, green golf courses and breathtaking scenery.

From the Lake George trailhead it is a steep 2 mile climb up to Mammoth Crest for fabulous views and a stunning red volcanic rock landscape. One of my favorite hikes for sure. The first mile is shared with the trail to Crystal Lake which is a very popular hike. Then there is a clear split off to the right for the trail to continue on to Mammoth Crest. When you part with the Crystal Lake trail you leave the crowd behind and the hike becomes nearly your own. At the top of the crest there are a few off shooting paths that offer you a 360 degree view past the Minarets and to the White Mountains.

Checked out a couple of bike hire places in Mammoth Lakes. We chose this one as the lady was really helpful giving lots of advice on where to visit etc. Really good rate for bike hire. You can also hire e-bikes here but we went for normal bikes and took the trolly bus up from a mile or so up the road. If you are not frequent cyclists, the e-bikes are a good idea as even up around the lakes there are some steep paths. It is absolutely beautiful up around the lakes well worth a visit. The trolly bus is great, the driver gave a bit of a guided tour as we went up to the furthest stop. There is no charge for the trolly bus...thankyou to the local community for providing a great service.

The best spring riding I have experienced. Felt like winter. Great mountain and the locals were very helpful. I cannot wait to go back again. Check out our Youtube video for highlights of our trip: GoPro 2K: South West Road Trip (Sedona, Grand Canyon, Page, Las Vegas, and Mammoth Mountain).
