“Really? This could be my last trip and you wanna go WHERE?”
I always thought that Bishop was just a spot you stopped at for a quick potty-n-petrol break on the way to Mammoth.
When Honey suggested we go here for her birthday and a quick get away before I was to start my first chemo treatment, I initially felt a little less than impressed, but was I in for an awe inspiring surprise!
In this episode, we bring you...(insert drum roll here):
- Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest: Home of the world's oldest known living tree.
- The Racetrack at Death Valley National Park: Mystery rocks who’s paths show that they’ve moved over the years – but nobody is quite sure how.
- Bodie State Historic Park: With 110 structures suspended in a state of arrested decay, this awesome Ghost Town is an Instagramers paradise!
- Alabama Hills: Mars-like rock formations combined with Mount Whitney, the highest summit in the contiguous United States, makes Alabama Hills a perfect backdrop for your next photo op – so don’t miss this easy side trip!
- Mono Lake Tufa State National Reserve: Otherworldly views dotted with clusters of salt pillars rising from the sea – home to trillions of teeny Brine Shrimp beckoning the hungry masses of migratory birds.
- Tioga Pass at Yosemite National Park: If you enjoy thrilling tight curves and sharp drop-offs then make sure to check out the highest mountain pass in all of the Sierra Nevada mountains on CA Highway 120.
- Buttermilk Country Loop: Stop for a picnic and a little bouldering while waiting on an afternoon storm to appear.
- Lake Sabrina: California’s tasty state fish, the Golden Trout, is abundant in these parts.
- Rock Creek Lake: If you’re looking to try your luck with the most popular hike along highway 395 that isn’t Mt. Whitney, then head up to Mosquito Flat at Rock Creek and you’ll find the trailhead to the stunning Little Lakes Valley.
- Manzanar National Historic Site: In 1942, the Manzanar War Relocation Center off Hwy 395 was just one of ten remote locations where more than 110,000 Japanese Americans were detained in military style camps during World War II.
