Spring is in the air and we are gearing up for ground work for the Shady Rest/Inyo Craters trails planning project. The Mammoth Lakes Trails System is implementing a 3-year trails planning grant the Town of Mammoth Lakes received from the California State OHV program. We are working with Inyo National Forest to plan for a future where we have a well-designed, sustainable trail system between Mammoth Lakes and June Lake.  Our top goal is to have a system which makes sense for trail users and the environment. Our team of data collectors, trail designers, and planners will be working to ground truth concepts, identify positive and negative control points and areas, and make thoughtful recommendations for optimizing the public access trail system between the communities of Mammoth Lakes and June Lake.
