Eastern Sierra

Travel Guide

Mammoth Lakes in California is a very popular ski destination, but is also a beautiful place to visit in the off season. The snow covered mountain peaks and first hints of fall colors provided some beautiful scenery during our October visit. #california #mammothlakes #lake #mountains #snow #fallcolors
Death Valley National Park.

Early morning view of the Easter Sierra.
Looking down on Palisade Glacier from the summit of Mt Agassiz. It's a big mountain at around 13,900 feet and there isn't a good trail up, but its a pretty straightforward climb if you have some experience and are in decent shape.
A perfect camp spot in the Eastern Sierras.  Second Lake is one of the seven lakes located along Big Pine Creek. It is 5 miles in from the trailhead which makes it both a great day hike or an overnight backpacking trip. Enjoy a view of Temple Crag as the sun goes down. #goldenhour  #hiking

The room did the job in terms of a place to sleep for the night. Walls are thin and neighbors were loud late and night and again early in the morning. Nothing nice, but did the trick for a quick nighter to hit the resort the next day. Would I return - likely not.
