[pct-l] Mammoth Parking

[Edward Anderson]

Jim, I am aware of the Crest bus schedule. Going north It will be at McDonalds at 8:20 AM.  What I would like to know is how far is the Mammoth Adventure Center from McDonalds? The most reliable way to get there would be to walk and be hitching along the way. I normally walk at nearly 4 mph.  How much time should I allow to reach McDonalds by about 7:00 to grab breakfast?  I will appreciate this info.

Ed, one thing you have to make sure to coordinate is the CREST bus schedule leaving Mammoth.  The CREST bus station is at the McDonalds in town.  The first bus leaving the Mammoth Adventure Center coming back to town may not get you there until after 8:30 am.  So if your CREST bus leaves before that then you need to figure out how to get from the Mammoth Adventure Center back into town before your bus leaves (it usually is an easy hitch, but maybe not early in the am because most people will be heading up the hill, not down).  I know the bus going south from Mammoth leaves at 8:05 am which is before the shuttle bus from the Adventure Center will get you to the McDonalds.  I don’t know about the north bound bus schedule. 
 
The phone number for the Eastern Sierra Transit authority is 760 924-3184.  They run the shuttle buses around town as well as the Reds Meadow Shuttle.  They should be able to tell you the schedules and where to park at the Adventure Center.
