The McGee Creek Trailhead is located about 10 miles south of Mammoth Lakes and offers fantastic views of the mountains and the creek. The trailhead parking was closed, but we were able to find a spot to park off the road near the pack station. We decided to go for a short walk and see what we could find.

As soon as we stepped onto the trail, we were hit with the sound of rushing water. The creek was full of snow-melt water, and we could see the snow-filled mountains in the distance. The trail was snow-free for the first 1.5 miles, making it easy for us to walk and enjoy the scenery. The trail is well maintained and gave us no trouble.

As we hiked along the trail, we noticed the creek was covered by snow bridges in spots. The views were incredible, and we stopped often to take it all in. The sound of the rushing water in the creek was a reminder of the power of nature and how it can transform a landscape in just a few months.

We continued our walk along the trail, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the beauty of the mountain landscape. Although we couldn’t get very far due to the snow, the short walk was still worth it. We were glad we made the effort to come out and enjoy the outdoors in the spring.
