Winter Trails

Recreating in the Eastern Sierra offers unparalleled scenery, serenity, fitness, and fun for everyone—from beginners to experts—thanks to its varied terrain and the stunning backdrop of the Sierra Nevada. Miles of snow-covered roads and play areas are open to snowmobilers, over snow vehicles (OSVs), and non-motorized users in the Mammoth Lakes, June Lake, and Mono Lake areas. The diverse terrain, including wide-open meadows, forested areas, and groomed networks, provides opportunities for all skill levels. 

The motorized multi-use trails, marked with orange diamonds, are groomed by the Town of Mammoth Lakes and local commercial guide services. There are over 30 miles of groomed non-motorized winter trails in and around Mammoth Lakes, providing opportunities to explore the Inyo National Forest on skis, snowshoes, and winter fat bikes. Beyond the groomed trails, there are approximately 150,000 acres open to OSVs, Nordic skiers and snowshoers equipped and prepared to travel off the maintained trail systems.
