We have an alternate route open for PCT hikers that need to resupply at Mammoth Lakes.

Please direct people to use the "Red Cones - Mammoth Pass" trails to get into town for supplies, and return to the PCT the same way. Attached is the trail sign that is posted on the PCT trail junction.

The saw team from Placerville did an amazing job of cutting through the some of the most complex piles. This area had 300 to 400 trees down in the section between McCloud Lake and the PCT junction!

Attention PCT Travelers:
The Pacific Crest Trail from here to Red's Meadow as well as the trail to Horseshoe Lake from here has been cleared since the windstorm. The roaded portion of the Red's Meadow Valley including the road to Minaret Summit and Mammoth Lakes is closed to the public at this time until clean-up work has been completed. PCT travelers may stay on the trail through the valley but are not permitted to hike on the road out of the valley to get to Mammoth Lakes. The trail to Horseshoe Lake leads to a trailhead in the Mammoth Lakes Basin which is connected by paved road to the town of Mammoth Lakes. This is the best access point for PCT hikers to re-supply in Mammoth Lakes and return to the trail. Local bus service between Mammoth Lakes and Horseshoe Lake will begin on June 30th. Red's Meadow Resort is closed at this time as well as all Forest Service campgrounds. There are no services available in the Red's Meadow Valley. For more information contact the Mammoth Lakes Welcome Center at 760 924-5500. Thank you for your cooperation.
