I Trail - Groomed Snowmobile Trail 12.9 mi

  • The I Trail, part of the Winter Grooming Snowmobile system for over-snow vehicle (OSV)/snowmobile use, is a popular connector trail between June Lake Junction and the A and D Trails. There is a general store and gas station at the junction of Highway 395 and Highway 158. Groomed and marked with orange diamonds, the trail crosses through the OSV tunnel under Hwy 395 north of June Lake Junction and heads out toward a small volcanic crater dubbed Devil's Punchbowl before straight-lining south to Deadman Summit. From here, the trail heads east and climbs toward the rim of the Long Valley Caldera, offering extensive views and multiple connections toward Bald Mountain Summit or south toward Lookout Mountain and Mammoth Lakes. The Winter Grooming Snowmobile System is groomed by the U.S. Forest Service with funding provided by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, using monies generated by registration fees and gasoline taxes.

Avalanche Forecast for 11/27/2024

  • AVALANCHE FORECAST: Over the past five days, two storms brought periods of heavy snowfall, strong winds, and dangerous avalanche conditions to the region. As the weather settles, avalanches breaking in new and wind-drifted snow will become less likely. Be prepared to assess the recent snow for signs of instability, like cracking underfoot, before venturing into avalanche terrain. We have very limited information about the snowpack at mid and upper elevations. If old snow has formed weak layers near the base of the snowpack, you can expect avalanche conditions to settle more slowly. Find out More
