Where to go

The Mojave Desert

Big Pine is within easy reach of the Mojave Desert, which has a number of fantastic protected areas. These include Death Valley National Park, Joshua Tree National Park, and the Mojave National Preserve.

Los Angeles County

If you need a little Southern California beach time, the Los Angeles County coastline is within day-tripping distance away. If you want to stay the night, Malibu and the surrounding Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area offer plenty of camping options.

The Southern Sierras

A short drive southwest of Big Pine, the southern Sierra Nevada range is a great place to camp, swim, and hike, especially in the summer months. The star attraction,  Sequoia National Forest is home to 38 different groves of sequoia trees plus ample opportunities for camping and backpacking.

When to go

Temperatures vary greatly in Big Pine, with cold and snowy winters and oftentimes sweltering summers.
