Welcome to Eastern Sierra & Mammoth Lakes Mountain Biking
If you’re looking for a unique place to go for a Mountain Bike adventure, you must check out the Eastern Sierra Region. From Mammoth Lakes down to Bishop, there are countless opportunities to ride here, from Traditional Mountain Bikes to the new Mountain E-Bikes. You will find everything from single-track action to enduro trails, OHV trails, and forest service roads that lead deep into the backcountry.
This website is here so you will know where to ride, current trail conditions, and what to expect from the local weather on your next Mountain Bike Trip to the Eastern Sierra.
We cover most of what you can ride at the Mammoth Mountain Bike Park, in the Inyo National Forest, and in the Bishop and Big Pine areas. There are miles and miles of mountain biking to be had up here.
Eastern Sierra Mountain Biking Report & Information Guide
6-6-2026 – Good morning. Lots to ride in the area. If you’re planning to come up to Mountain Bike this weekend in the high country, expect clear blue skies and average temperatures, making for perfect midday mountain-biking conditions.
Down in the Bishop area, mornings should continue to be wonderful in all your favorite spots from the Tablelands to the Foothills to the Poleta area. Afternoon are hot and dry and the June sun is blazing by the late morning early afternoon hours.
You want to watch where you step if you’re out riding in the lower elevations, as the snakes are out. You will see both gophers and rattlesnakes out there, so slow down and watch where you step if you need to get off your bike.
Out of Mammoth Lakes, Mammoth Rock Trail and all the forest service roads are open. All the little single track trails in the shady rest area are ridable as is the Mountain View Loop.
Other Trails you can ride now are the Big and Little Smokey Bear Loops and the Inyo Craters Loop.
Lower Rock Creek Canyon Trail is in prime shape this week. We’ve been riding up the road, then doing laps on the upper two sections before heading back via the lower, techy section.
The Mammoth Bike Park is open with Uptown and Down Down, Big Ring, Smooth Operator Gopher Trail, and Shotgun. Twilight Zone is now open top to bottom, but you will have to peddle up from the bottom of 4 for access as there is no lift service yet.
News from the Bike Park: Things we’re hyped on for this season…
– We will be running Roller Coaster Express [4] for bikes Fri-Sun starting sometime in June. This will allow trails like Boomerang, Brake Through, Flow, Pipeline, Seven Bridges, etc. to be easily lappable.
– We are going to build Upper Flow, with drops and features to help progress to the lower section of the trail.
– We are building a new connector trail from the top of Chair 4 back towards Main Lodge. This is terrain we’ve looked at for years, and while providing a service, the trail should be a blast to ride.
– Re-worked Pipeline with better flow, airtime, and trail speed.
Ride on, Steve
PS: I will be back out in the dirt again soon. Dr Brown did sugary on my hand a month ago, getting close to being able to ride and get photos to post. Stay tuned in, moving forward there will be a couple updates a week.
