There’s a lot to love and we want to spend a little time highlighting one of Mammoth’s most popular activities: mountain biking.
Across the street from our 1849 Mountain Rentals in Mammoth Lakes rests the fantastic and expansive Mammoth Bike Park with over 80 miles of trail and a peak elevation at just over 11,000 feet. This is not just a park; it’s a full adventure, with designed trails, tough terrain, on-site biking lessons, hosted competitions and events, and more. The trails range from beginner to expert, with slopes beside deep ravines down to open pathways for families to cruise together casually.
The park is open to everyone regardless of skill or comfort level. About half the trails are rated as easy. About 15% of the trails are dedicated to professionals, which are all clearly and distinctly marked. That leaves about a third of the trails for the mid-range biking enthusiast – past the beginner stage, but not quite at the pro level.
When you take the ski lift to the top of the park, be sure to choose a path pertaining to your skill level. Every other lift has a bike carrier on it. Guides are available to help point you in the right direction and provide anything you may need, such as maps or accessories. Private lessons are also available for all levels.
Bike Rentals
Don’t have a bike of your own? There’s an extensive fleet of bikes for children up to expert riders who only want the top-of-the-line gear.
Tickets
Tickets are available based on family size and duration of your stay. For example, the quad pass allows 4 for any period of time. The Twilight Ticket pass includes any number of rides, as well as the unlimited uphill gondola and shuttle access. This special pass is exclusive to guests after 3 p.m.
The most accessible option for families is the Discover Pass. It includes access to the park, two bikes and a 2.5-hour lesson for a parent and child.
Getting to the Mountain Bike Park
To purchase bike tickets, simply ride from 1849 Mountain Rentals down to the Village at Mammoth. From here you can either bike up the trails or hop on the bus shuttle that takes you to the Gondola at the Adventure Center.
