Getting in touch with the elements is more than just stepping outside for a breath of fresh air, it's wandering out onto the dirt terrain where it's you and the wildlife.
Ok, maybe that's a little extreme. But still, Mammoth has some pretty rad hikes. So here are our three faves.
1. Earthquake Fault Trail (0.2 mi)
Go ahead, give yourself a good scare. Make yourself feel like a daredevil just for BEING in California. Though this hike is no relief to the buzz about "The Big One", the fissure gives you a neat little inside look at the impact of earthquakes in the area and also makes for a pretty gnarly picnic spot.
2. Sherwin Lakes Trail (3 mi)
Though a little steeper than other trails in the area, it's definitely worth it. Meander through the aspen groves and poke through the different wildflowers around. This hike is also a great treat for birdwatchers.
3. Uptown Mountain Bike Trail (1.4 mi)
Test your endurance on this trail for dedicated cross-country riders. Although a bit of a climb, it's a kick when you get to coast your way back downhill to the trailhead.
