Mammoth Trails

Mammoth Trails is a new confederation of outdoor recreation user groups in Mammoth Lakes who have come together to collaboratively address recreation opportunities, issues, and stewardship in our community.

Public Egress from the Sherwins to Ranch Road

As a part of its approved development plans, Snowcreek Investment Company has provided a legal route that connects the base of the Sherwins area to the gate at Ranch Road and is in effect once there is adequate snow cover across the golf course. This route across the Snowcreek property is marked with four red signs. This is the only legal way out from the western base of the Sherwins directly to Old Mammoth Road. Skiers and riders exiting the eastern parts of the Sherwins may prefer to get back to town via Sherwin Creek Road. Click here to download the official press release and learn more about this egress.

Over the last few weeks, a series of letters have appeared in local papers questioning the integrity of MLTPA's contract for services with the Town of Mammoth Lakes in support of a Mammoth Lakes Trail System. In an effort to remain completely transparent to our community and to refute misinformation that is being circulated, we offer a point-by-point response to the most recent letter from Sandy Hogan, dated December 10, 2011.
