Mammoth lakes

On our honeymoon trip Mary and I stayed in the mammoth lakes area for 4 days. We boarded the 
horses at Sierra meadows ranch that is just on the edge of the city. 
When we were in Bishop we purchased a new copy of the Mammoth Adventure map, this shows all 
detail and information you could ever ask for from streets, topographical information, to 
trails, including PCT/John Muhr.� By the map!

There is some good riding directly out of the stables, but within a few miles you can be at 
some of the most scenic riding possible, with minimum difficulty

Here are some suggestions 
1. The first day do something simple to help your horse get acclimated to the altitude. 
2. Trails directly from sierra meadows ranch or Sherwin creek road trailhead
3. Near mammoth lakes you could try these trailheads
a. Horseshoe lake� *� **
b. 2 at lake George
c. Near the pine city camp ground
d. The top of cold water campground
e. Mill city, down to Sherwin creek or across to twin lakes *
4. Also taking Mammoth scenic loop there are a number of places that in the winter are used
   for snowmobiling and some mountain bike use in the summer.
a. Inyo crater, and lakes *
b. Deer mountain
c. And out towards Deadman� camp grounds, Rumored to be free camping on another map *
5. There is also a trail along the mammoth scienic loop road that is nice and flat that 
could be one of the selections for the first easy day ride, lots of trees

notes *( I want to try this one) **Trailer parking area only
