If you leave before 7 am or after 7 pm you can exit as you please, with no fee. If you drove and you leave between 7 am and 7 pm you will have to pay a $10 fee at the kiosk. When leaving after your trip, if you took the shuttle then ride it back to your vehicle. The shuttle leaves from the Mammoth Mountain Adventure Center and departs at least every 45 minutes and costs $8 per adult each way. There is a decent sized parking area at the trailhead.īut, between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm there is a mandatory shuttle system in place. Outside of these hours you are allowed to drive up.

Getting to and from the Trailhead: Between May-October (may vary based on road closures) getting to your trailhead isn’t as easy as just driving there and parking.

So in the meantime, we hit the Mammoth Skate Park and cruised Shady Rest Trail. Then they would call our names in the order on the sheet where we would next hopefully get our requested permit. The form instructed us to return at 11:00 am. This step did not guarantee that we would get that permit. We then signed up on a form that basically held our place in line and indicated the group leader, group size and our desired trailhead. We stood in a short line until the Ranger Station opened at 8:00. To get our permit for backpacking to Ediza Lake, we went to the Mammoth Lakes Ranger Station around 7:30 am the day before our trip. The remaining percentage of the permits are available on a first come first served basis for no cost (just a little bit of inconvenience). On the website there is a $5 per person fee as well as a $6 fee for the online processing. A percentage of the daily quota permits are available online at.
