Eastern Sierra Sampler
Duration: 2 - 4 Day Options
Price: $160 Per Day & Up (1-6 guests)
Discover the Eastern Sierra in an intimate way on our Eastern Sierra Trail Running Sampler — an immersive, exciting introduction to one of the most iconic trail running destinations in the world. Customize your trip to run 2 to 4 days, and let our professionally trained mountain guides lead you through some of our favorite singletrack, from Mammoth Lakes to June Lake.
You'll explore pristine trails with breathtaking sub-alpine views, weave past wildflowers like Indian paintbrush and Sierra lily, and visit crystal-clear lakes nestled in the Sierra backcountry. These trails offer the perfect introduction to everything that makes the Eastern Sierra special — and if you're up for a couple of extra days, we can extend your trip into Yosemite National Park.
This landscape means everything to our team. We're trail runners, mountain guides, educators, and above all, stewards of the Sierra. Join us for a few unforgettable days of dirt surfing and real community in the mountains we've come to love.
