About
In the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, more than 1.5 million acres of wilderness awaits you. Inyo County hosts thousands of miles of hiking trails, hundreds of lakes and picturesque mountain views. No wonder Ansel Adams and John Muir raved about this place.
Hiking to some of the many scenic points in the park is an adventure. Mount Whitney isn't just a monolith watching over the park. It's the highest point in the lower 48 states.
The Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest harbors Methuselah, a single tree that's nearly 5,000 years old. She's the second-oldest single life-form known to mankind.
Mammoth Lakes is Inyo County's only incorporated town. The town is a winter sports haven for people who love to snow ski. Nearby natural hot springs offer the perfect place to unwind after a long day.
