Hiking
During the spring, the Mammoth area offers amazing scenery and mild temperatures. Many of the valleys are offer spectacular views at this time, because the waterfalls are full, flowers are blooming, and the mountains are still covered in snow. Each week a new lake thaws and the snow melts on one of our many trails. There are a many places to day hike and walk in the Mammoth area during the spring but make sure to check on snow pack levels. Below are a few of the good ones.

Road & Mountain Biking
Road bikers have plenty of asphalt routes to choose from, be it peddling around town, gearing down to puff up Minaret Road to the Mammoth Mountain Main Lodge or cruise the scenic stretches of U.S. Highway 395. As the spring melt opens up the trails, its time to test your suspension on the Inyo National Forest's vast network of trails and unpaved roads. Rock Creek is home Sand Canyon and Lower Rock Creek, two of the most insane rides in the region.
