The Inyo National Forest has miles and miles of challenging single track and unimproved Forest Service roads for mountain bikers of all ages and abilities. Below are a few favorites from the ASO Mammoth team.
Remember, off-road biking is prohibited in wilderness areas and national parks. The paved roads in Mammoth Lakes and surrounding areas that head into the forest could be very steep but they do offer scenic and challenging hill climbing. Summers are hot and dry, so bring a bag with extra water and a snack.
