Reds Meadow Shuttle
Service is ending August 31, 2021 due to the closure of Inyo National Forest.
Although there will be no entrance to the valley, twice a day a shuttle will sweep the valley for hikers exiting the trail-head and will be at The Reds Meadow Resort, 12pm and 5pm. Unless directed otherwise by the Forest Service, this modified service will run through Labor Day.
Refunds will be processed by Mammoth Mountain for pre-purchased tickets with reservations after 8/31/2021.
**NOTE: Masks are required on public transportation. Please bring your mask. Bus loading restrictions have been lifted by the CDC and FTA, therefore, you may experience crowded conditions on the shuttle.
