Possibly the easiest and most beautiful hikes in the Eastern Sierra Nevada, California

This area is part of a stretch of Highway 395 in California between the town of Lone Pine up to Bodie, which I find very dramatic and undervisited by most tourists.

Hi Andrew, just wondering.. How long a lens did you use? is there a best time in the year to visit?

Andrew Kim 04.11.2018

I used a point and shoot Panasonic LUMIX camera. Nothing fancy.

Thanks! Nice shot!

Ai Lin, Sorry I didn't answer your second question. I think September to early October is best. Weather is just perfect and afternoon thunderstorms which are rampant in July and August is rare. If you are in the area make sure to check out the Alabama hills near Lone Pine and Bodie ghost town!!

Appreciate that, Andrew. I’ll check these out, for sure. Perhaps next fall. Happy shooting!
