Day 2: After breakfast, our day’s adventure will take us to explore some of the best trails in the Sierra surrounding Mammoth Lakes. We’ll get a chance to explore uncrowded high alpine lakes, the top of Mammoth mountain, and views of the spectacular peaks of the Eastern Sierra stretching around us. We’ll head up the famous steep and challenging Dragon’s Back for views all around us before enjoying smooth singletrack and loops around lakeside trails that make Mammoth Lakes famous for a gradual descent and rolling runnable trails for the remainder of the run. We’ll have a special professional running photographer capture scenes from the run and go for a swim in the lakes basin afterwards before heading back to town. 

In the afternoon we’ll enjoy a special sunset bonus photo session with our guest running photographer at another stunning lake in the area. You’ll have the rest afternoon and evening free to explore or relax and enjoy another restaurant in town!
