Reflections:
The gondola ride to the summit is amazing. It is smooth and fast, and the views are spectacular. There are some nice exhibits at the summit's interpretive center and the docents are very knowledgeable and helpful.
During the summer months, the Mountain Bike Park offers trails for riders of all abilities.
Hiking enthusiasts can use the mountain as well. One of the hikes I am looking forward to begins by riding the gondola to the summit. The trail starts just outside the interpretive center and winds down the back of the mountain to Twin Lakes. You can then pick up a shuttle into town or, if you're in really good shape, continue hiking until you reach the town of Mammoth Lakes.
If you enjoy the sport of skiing you should definitely visit the Mammoth Ski Museum in the town of Mammoth Lakes.
Tip of the Trip:
If you like local historic photos and memorabilia, you need to check out the lobby of the Mammoth Mountain Inn. The lobby or bar upstairs is a great place to relax for awhile.
Question:
What is your favorite ski run, mountain bike run, or hike on Mammoth Mountain?
