The Lakes Basin Path offers a moderate mountain biking experience through the Inyo National Forest. This 11.5 miles (18.4 km) route features a gain of 1188 feet (362 metres) as you wind past several beautiful alpine lakes. You will enjoy scenic views of the Mammoth Crest and Sherwin Range, with opportunities to pause at viewpoints overlooking landmarks like Twin Falls.
Plan your ride on this path between June and November, as it is open seasonally. The estimated duration for this route is 1 hours and 23 minutes. For convenient access, especially if you prefer a mostly downhill ride, consider using the free Lakes Basin Trolley, which operates from late May through early September and can transport bikes.
This predominantly paved multi-use path connects a series of lakes, including Twin Lakes, Lake Mary, and Lake Mamie, before reaching Horseshoe Lake. It provides a unique way to explore the area's natural beauty, offering a rewarding journey for mountain bikers looking for a well-maintained route with consistent lake views.
