After working on the kitchen remodel, we wanted a break. Since we’ve never explored the Eastern Sierras, off we went. This trip we did not make reservations, a first. Our first stop was Lone Pine, California, staying at the Lone Pine Campground, a NFS campground at the base of Whitney Portal. We had beautiful warm, fall weather.
Next stop was June Lake, a bit farther north on Highway 395. We found a great NFS campground, Oh Ridge, overlooking June Lake. The fall leaves were spectacular! Bodie, the ghost town, was really interesting and the hike to Parker lake was beautiful. The weather turned cold, 30 at night, and snow the last day there.
The day we left, the southern highway route was closed because of mud slides. So, we decided to take Highway 20, across Tioga pass. The pass was closed the day before because of snow, but it was cleared for our trip across. Another beautiful day.
