Mammoth Mountain Bike park
During the summer months, Mammoth Mountain operates a Mountain Bike Park full
of terrain, trails for levels from beginner to expert and has events
for the whole family to watch. You can start your day at the "Adventure Center" which
is the main lodge area up HWY 203, which is the road you use to come to town.
At the main lodge the chair lifts and gondolas will operate to take riders
and watchers all over the hill. The park is generally open from 8:00AM - 6:00
PM. The Adventure Center has fun things for the kids who don't ride to do, such
as the zip line and rock wall.
Hikers
Even though this is a Mountain Bike Park, there are plenty of hiking trails on the
mountain that will give you great exercise. You can ride up to the top and use your
feet to get down. Trails are marked with square signs and dashed while line. Good
hiking shoes are a must, water and sunscreen. You will want to walk down the trails,
not up unless you can handle the 11,053 FT elevation. Trust us on this one!

Things To Do at The Mountain Bike Park
Ride The Gondola To The Top
The scenic gondola goes from the Main Lodge to the 11,053 Summit. At the top the
views of the entire Sierra region are picture perfect. The Gondola rises 2,124 feet
in the air, and takes a little over 7 minutes to the top.
Sierra Interpretative Center
At the top of the gondola is the Sierra Interpretive Center which helps identify the different peaks and valleys of the Eastern Sierra. There are fun facts and interesting information about the early settlers to this area, how the volcanoes formed the area, and how it became such a popular destintaion. There is also a small cafe up at the top for snacks.
Zip Line
At the gondola center kids can ride a very fun zip line across the park. A zip line is a cable strung from tree top to tree top with a pulley attached. The kids are strapped in and ... zip across the line.
Climbing Wall
The climbing wall is outdoors, about 30 feet in the air, and kids of all ages can
use it to learn the basics of rock climbing. With a safety guide and safety gear,
the kids get a real thrill.
Red Meadows Shuttle to Devils Postpile & Rainbow Falls
Two of the most popular attractions in Mammoth are the
Devils
Postpile and the hike to Rainbow Falls. Devils Postpile is a National Monuement. Rainbow falls is a long hike 1.5 miles each way through the forest. In order to make it to either trail head, you must take the shuttle from the Adventure Center.
These businesses can help with this adventure.
