STACYC™ Full Throttle Pump Track
Hop on a STACYC™ powered stability cycle and take a spin around our pump track, where kids can get the feel for whoops, berms, and balance while having a blast. It's the perfect introduction to the Mammoth Bike Park for littler rippers.
Mini Golf
Via Ferrata
Challenge yourself with a guided climbing adventure on the rugged cliffs of Mammoth Mountain. Via Ferrata, which means “iron path,” is a network of climbing routes using steel cables, iron rungs and suspended bridges fixed to the rock that climbers are attached to for safety. With six different routes that progress in difficulty, Via Ferrata is the perfect alpine activity for families and individuals.
Reds Meadow Shuttle
The majesty of these natural wonders lie just over the shoulder of Mammoth Mountain in the San Joaquin River Valley. To preserve its pristine nature, visitors must ride the shuttle for access to the Devils Postpile National Monument.
Hiking
No matter your ability, you can find a rewarding and scenic hike on Mammoth Mountain. Make it a big adventure with a round-trip hike, or take in the views with a Scenic Gondola Ride uphill (ticket required) to either the top or mid-station, followed by a downhill journey on foot.
Mammoth Bike Park
Whether it’s your first time riding on dirt, or you’re a downhill wizard, the Mammoth Bike Park delivers the ultimate high-alpine riding experience for everyone. With 80+ miles of singletrack offering plenty of pavers, berms, jumps and drops, as well as our beginner-friendly Discovery Zone, there’s two-wheeled fun for all at the country’s premier lift-served bike park.
