About this trip
We've created the ultimate domestic summer running road trip itinerary with flexible COVID-19 friendly travel adventures that are perfect for solo travelers or groups of friends. Our Yosemite National Park and Mammoth Lakes itinerary takes you through world class National Parks and hidden gems of the spectacular Eastern Sierra. From flat lake loops, scenic valley paths, and high altitude mountain running routes, this itinerary comes with 8 curated running routes in Yosemite National Park, Mammoth Lakes, and the greater Eastern Sierra area to mix and match as your energy levels please. Our routes range in length from 4 miles with 200-400 feet of elevation gain on flat trails and bike paths (option to extend) to 12-20 mile loops and out-and-back routes on trails. We've also included recommended vistas, hot springs, and points of interest. Check out our self-guided runcation for summer and fall 2020 self-guided running vacations in the outdoors.
