Backpacking in Mammoth

Call it backpacking,
Rock Climbing, or
Mountaineering there
is something about sleeping under the stars and fresh made cowboy
coffee that not even the Ritz can compete with. Far from civilization,
backpacking in the backcountry in the High Sierra is one of the
most popular activities. For every overnight, and some day trips,
you need to get a
wilderness permit
and
maps from the local ranger
station as most of the trails have limits or quotas on the amount
of trekkers. Some of the
Mammoth campgrounds
also require reservations and have occupancy limits.
Following is a list of the popular
Trail
Heads and their descriptions, but by no means is the entire
list. Good information is available at the Visitor Centers that
are maintained by the Forest Rangers. We recommend using a certified
Mammoth
guide on your expedition. They can enhance your activity and
improve the level of safety on every trip.
