With a fee of 10$ pp this park offers you plenty of trails to walk and views to admire.
The nature is breathtaking and the height of the trees is magnificent. You can learn everything about the historical background of this park and get educated at the Nature Center existing on site
Such a quiet place to spend your evening..wonderful!
While we were driving through Santa Cruz we stopped by the Natural Bridges State Beach.
We as a family love to walk at the shores and play with the water while enjoying the lovely scenery at the background.
This place covered our needs completely. The rock bridges were fantastic especially when a group of seagulls landed at the top of the bridge to rest.
If you like taking snapshots of wildlife on their natural environment then I would strongly recommend to take your cameras with you.
There is an entrance fee at the car park.
Have you ever seen natural mountains of rocky salt? We hadn't until we visited Mono Lake.
With the help of our camera's zoom lens we were able to see birds nesting at the tall salt rocks of the lake. This place is specified for bird watching.
The hike is very easy if you follow the trails, and there were many visitors around.
If you visit then take in mind you will need water because there isn't any shop at the surrounding area.
I would recommend binoculars to the wildlife lovers!
If you travel to Lee Vining Town, please do make a stop at the great place of Mono Lake Tufa State Reserve...
There is a Visitor Center which gives you all the information you need for the place and how the salt formations that you will see were made.
When you get to know about everything, you can enjoy the iconic views of the lake formations. This place is fantastic..
Don't miss out taking some photographs so you remember the beauty of this place..
Approximately 25 minutes from Highway 395 exists June Lake Loop which is great for fishing!!!
Take all the equipment needed for your fishing experience and sit back at the Lake and relax while enjoying the background of the scenic mountains.
The water is clear and there are plenty of people there every time we go!!
Make sure you get there early in order to find a place for your car.!
Are you at the Yosemite neighborhood? Then you have to visit Mariposa Grove & Museum. Even if you are only going for the hike it is still worth the try.
The beauty of the grand sequoias is absolutely stunning..the hike is just so fascinating...we all felt we were playing a role at the Alice in Wonderland fairy-tale.
Do not miss this spot!! Take your cameras with you!!!
This place is just a tour to history! The views are spectacular. Not far away from Lone Pine, these trees are so precious to see.
It is important to go to the Visitor Center which is operated by the National Forest Service, and learn about the history of this oldest tree in the world and the importance of it.
Wear comfortable shoes, there are some hilly areas to walk! The temperatures vary as well, so bring a warmer coat for you and your children plus water and food.
Great experience and very educating.
While driving east, the decision we took to stop at the Inyo National Forest was on of the greatest we had taken.
The surroundings are natural and jaw dropping! The pine trees are everywhere and you can smell nature in the air. The mountain tops still had snow on them as they are high enough to keep the low temperatures even if the temperature at the ground level is high!
The campground is amazing and there were lots of people on site. Very clean and well cared environment!
Sierra Mountains...what a piece of art God created!!! I don't think someone can resist the beauty of this place. Just a few miles from Cedar Grove, Zumwalt Meadow is a stop where you can stretch your legs and enjoy the views of the mountains hierarchy.
Sit at the grassy or rocky area, and admire the strong mountain edges becoming one with the clouds. The background can become so scenic and serene that will blow your mind.
Keep quiet and listen to the sounds of birds flying above you..terrific!!
This is not a private place, although you can see buildings around, this place is a state park! While you enter you almost feel you are gaining access to a small village.
Everything is so well maintained, the trails are easy to walk, horse-ride or cycle and you can see the historical first farm with water wheel electricity and the restored buildings, the farm animals, the ancient cypress tree which is fantastic to see and climb (my children did) .
There are breath taking views you get to see while being there but be aware of the strong winds later the afternoon.
