Eastern Sierra Mountain Biking Report & Information Guide

Mammoth Lakes Area Trails: I recommend trying the Mammoth Rock Trail; it’s a great out-and-back ride. The climb is just about right for something at the 8000-foot level, and the ride back down into the Mammoth Meadow area is fun and mellow.

Mountain View is wide open and clear for out-and-back rides. The Inyo Craters Loop and the Big and Little Smokey Bear Loop are open. Mammoth Knolls Trail Loop and all the dirt roads and little offshoot single tracks in that area are open and rideable.

You can also park at Footloose Sports and ride Sawmill dirt road to the Big Smoky Bear Loop. For the most fun, I highly recommend doing that ride on an E-MTB. Mountain View is also just a quarter mile away and is fun on a Mountain Bike or an e-mtb. 

Mammoth Mountain Bike Park: The lifts and extreem train is now closed for the season. You can still ride the parks cross country routes, but you ride at your own risk as the MTB patrol is gone for the season now.

If you’re out on the Mountain riding watch for contructions and mountain crews getting ready for the new winter season. 

(LRC) Lower Rock Creek Trail: All three sections of the trail are wide open at this time.  You will also find fisherpeople on the trail sometimes, so watch out for those fishing rods. Learn more about LRC at this link. 

Foothill Areas of West Bishop & Millpond: All dirt roads, older moto trails, and single tracks are open and rideable. Over the next few months, watch for rattlesnakes in these areas. I saw one just a couple of days ago sunning itself on one of the single tracks. 

White Mountain Road to the White Mountain Single-Track Trail is Open

The Poleta Canyon OHV Area is open (it is located at the end of E Line St and has miles of open, ridable terrain). The Poleta Canyon Trail is open, but beware: temperatures can get hot during the afternoons.
