Welcome to Eastern Sierra 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
3-4-2026 @ 10 AM From Bishop California at 4,250 feet.
Today’s trail report shows a complete meltout from just below Toms Place into the lower elevations. All that snow we saw a couple of weeks ago is, for the most part, gone, and in the areas that are melted out, it’s endless brown-powder days as all the trails are firm and tacky.
Looking at the Lower Rock Creek Canyon Trail a few days back, there was still a bit of snow in spots in the upper 2 sections, but both sections were rideable, though very slick in spots. Should be a great ride by the end of the week.
Here in Bishop the snow has been gone a week now, never seen a faster melt off. The snow left all your favorite trails just outside of Bishop in perfect shape. No mud, no snow, just firm and tacky dirt. That hero dirt has created some great early spring riding.
Of course, Mammoth Lakes and Mammoth Mountain are buried under snow now, as are the trails we ride outside of town. The melt-off below 7,500 feet is progressing quickly, so I expect anything below that elevation to be open soon.
For those wondering about the Bike Park season, if the current weather holds up I would expect trails out of Canyon and Eagle to be ridable around Memorial Day, with the full park open by the end of June.
Ride on, Steve
