Saturday, September 16, 2017, will be the final Trail Day event for the Mammoth Lakes Trail System this summer. Join us as we gather to clean up the venerable Mammoth Lakes Basin, honor the service of former Town Council Member Skip Harvey, and bid "audieu" to the Summer of 2017.

Saturday August 5, 2017 will be the second very special Trail Day for the Mammoth Lakes Trail System this summer, as we gather to work on and celebrate the grand opening of the Meadow Trail Connector, the second new trail in the Sherwins from the Sherwins Area Recreation Plan (SHARP). Conceived by members of the Sherwins Working Group in 2009 and documented in SHARP, the Meadow Trail Connector will be the second new trail to be built in the Sherwins this summer with a ribbon cutting at 1:00 PM after completing our day of trail work.

The Mammoth Lakes Trail System is having an exciting season with new trails in the Sherwins, an educational and fun trail workshop, and much more to come!

The Developing SMARTER Trails Workshop took place on July 8th and 9th and was well attended by over 45 people from far and wide. Woody Keen of Trail Wisdom led us through a full day of education and discussion at the Mammoth Lakes Fire Station on Saturday. Then we worked together to build over 1/4 mile of new single track on Sunday.
