Then the summer melts away the snow, opening thousands of miles of trails and even the road to Yosemite National Park just a 45 minute drive from town. Youll never tire of finding secret alpine lakes, lush aspen-lined streams and forested hideaways tucked away in the mountains. From the Pacific Crest and the John Muir Trails to short day hikes, theres something for everyone in the Eastern Sierra. Do you prefer to travel on two wheels? If so, miles and miles of quiet mountain roads and epic road bike climbs are calling your name. Prefer the dirt? Weve got plenty of cross country and downhill trails. You can take the lift up to 11,000 feet and plummet down some black diamond bike trails on Mammoth Mountain. Or take the beginner trails with the whole family! You can even bike to work at Mammoth Hospital on our many local bike paths. After an epic day, sit down to a great meal at any of our fine dining restaurants where you are bound to run into a friend from Mammoth Hospital!
