Default Five days, four nights
My best friend, my riding partner, my wife and I took a trip here in California up Hwy 395 to explore the Eastern Sierras. We had a great experience, saw sights, went through different elevations from 1,500 ft to over 10,000 ft. Below are some pictures of our trip with brief descriptions.
We traveled 1,197 miles and didn't want to go home.

Packed and ready to go...

Our room in Bishop,Ca





Road to Mammoth Lakes

Looks like Great Trip! My better half and I originally planned to do that area on the way to SF but opted to head for the Coast sooner. Looks like we missed some nice riding and scenery.
