Mammoth Trails
Project Description: Mammoth Trails started in 2006 as a confederation of user groups convened to address issues among outdoor recreation user groups and provide a cohesive environment for smaller organizations to grow. Today, Mammoth Trails continues to collaborate to create and enhance outdoor recreation for our community, effectively and inclusively. As partners, allies, and friends, Mammoth Trails offers the entire outdoor recreation community a space to share and discover local and regional happenings.
Mammoth Lakes Recreation and the Town of Mammoth Lakes convene Mammoth Trails meetings to engage individuals, groups, agencies, and recreation-based organizations. Participants share resources and engage on issues in our outdoor recreation community. Mammoth Trails embraces people and activities that range from moderate to extreme, local to international, and novice to elite. Participants represent the best interests of their individual organizations but ultimately understand the need for collaboration and cooperation within the outdoor recreation community. Task forces or subcommittees may be appointed to provide technical expertise, determine mitigation measures, or garner public comment on specific issues or projects.
