Mammoth Trails

[[email protected]]

I will be going to mammoth in about a month. Last year i did a lot of 4x4 around Antelope valley spring. I heard that there was also a trail that goes around Crowley lake. But is there any better trails around Antelope valley? Crowley lake is too low in elevation thus not much snow. I will be staying in the village and dont want to drive more then 10 min to get to a trail. So if there is anything around the village or near antelope valley springs please let me know. thanks

There is a trail going up the mountain behind Convict Lake. However I doubt it is accessible with all the snow that mountain gets. It sure is nice in the summer though. You can see the entire town, airport and June Lake.

You should check out Laurel Lakes also. Just SE of Mammoth Lakes. Go to the Ranger Station in town, and get map of all the off road trails in the area.

I highly recommend the Laurel creek drive up to the lakes. Also, you can hike up the saddle between Bloody Mtn and Mt Laurel where's there's a very interesting volcanic bowl. If you've got the legs, get a view of the lakes above Convict as well. I only go in the summers, so be careful about snow - the hillsides don't have many trees that high up.
