Never heard of Lee Vining? I hadn't either before we set out to explore all aspects of the Eastern Sierras! This summer, we were fortunate to discover so many cool aspects of this relatively small, high elevation mountain town. It's only 30 minutes north of Mammoth Lakes, and 30 minutes south of Bridgeport, making it a worthwhile stop as you explore along the scenic Hwy 395.
What You Need to Know Before Visiting Yosemite National Park
Yosemite National Park holds a special place in our hearts. It just so happens to be the closest national park to our hometown, so we've been visiting this incredible public land for years! We have hiked, camped, snowshoed and backpacked in Yosemite. There is so much to see, do and hike that I think you could spend a lifetime discovering something new at Yosemite. (It also makes it really hard to write a condensed, succinct guide on this park. ?)
