So many remarkable places to see in the Eastern Sierra offer a fascinating glimpse into California’s untouched western landscape. Majestic granite formations reach towards the heavens, while the towering Mt. Whitney proudly claims its title as the highest peak in the contiguous US. Atop these rugged mountains, ancient living organisms endure the harsh elements, symbolizing resilience and endurance. Down in the valleys, ghost towns echo the tales of daring exploits, and heritage sites interpret the significant natural and cultural history of this vast and formidable region.
