1. Mammoth to Bridgeport
MAMMOTH TO BRIDGEPORT – 94.8 MILES
The official start of your journey begins just a few miles from the resort town of Mammoth Lakes atop Minaret Vista (9,265’). Take in the incredible views and crisp mountain air, then choose your own adventure as the route splits. The first optional advanced section follows OHV trails through the largest Jeffrey Pine Forest in the world, which can be sandy with hidden roots underneath. Later in this section, the second advanced option loops around Obsidian Dome, with tight forested turns and primitive sandy terrain (be mindful of OHV traffic on the advanced sections).
Admire the scenic wonders of Mono Lake with its unique Tufa Spires, then adhere to the main route if you’re not up for a technical water crossing with large, slick boulders, which can get quite deep depending on the season. The northern portion meanders through the hills above Bodie, and if you like old mining towns, Bodie State Historic Park is worth exploring (fee required). Continuing toward the town of Bridgeport, the section ends with an epic two-track with views of Nevada and the Sweetwater Range.
