MLTS Signage and Wayfinding - Hard Surface

Project Description: The Mammoth Lakes Trail System sign program was developed with partners, public input, and thoughtful design. The sign program includes pathway and trail regulatory and wayfinding signage. Hard Surface signage is designed with USFS symbols and messaging standards and is found on paved multi-use pathways and trail access nodes. There are multiple sign types used throughout the Mammoth Lakes trail system. These include informational and interpretive kiosks as well as various trail guides equipped with wayfinding information and maps. This allows for smooth navigation while using pathways such as the Town Loop and Lakes Basin Path. Simple milepost markers are also a part of this sign array - happy wayfinding!

Project Update: The Mammoth Lakes Trail System's Standards Manual is currently undergoing updates - stay tuned for the latest designs and information regarding signage and wayfinding!
