Bodie Ghost Town is the most popular & best preserved historic mining camp in California. Winter months are cold, windy, and often snowy. Late summers can get hot. Plan accordingly.

No services, no pavement, no big trees. Very remote location. Abundant free, boondocking camps in this high desert region, so make sure to get a camp fire permit from the local ranger station in Lee Vining or Bridgeport, CA

Mono Lake Map

Mono Lake is a saline soda lake in Mono County, California, formed at least 760,000 years ago as a terminal lake in an endorheic basin. The lack of an outlet causes high levels of salts to accumulate in the lake and make its water alkaline.

The high desert lake has an unusually productive ecosystem based on brine shrimp, which thrive in its waters, and provides critical habitat for two million annual migratory birds that feed on the shrimp and alkali flies.

When the city of Los Angeles diverted water from the freshwater streams flowing into the lake, it lowered the lake level, which imperiled the migratory birds. The Mono Lake Committee formed in response and won a legal battle that forced Los Angeles to partially replenish the lake level.

Dissolved salts in the runoff thus remain in the lake and raise the water’s pH levels and salt concentration. The tributaries of Mono Lake include Lee Vining Creek, Rush Creek and Mill Creek which flows through Lundy Canyon.

The basin was formed by geological forces over the last five million years: basin and range crustal stretching and associated volcanism and faulting at the base of the Sierra Nevada.

Hoover Wilderness Trail Map

Green Creek trailhead at NFS campground

Snowy mountain peaks usually do not melt until late spring, so expect mud or snow from November – May. Summer is great time for warm weather, backpacking, mountaineering, horseback rides to the highcountry, alpine lakes or stream fishing. Aspen groves are excellent in early Autumn.

Mucho wilderness surrounds the actual Hoover Wilderness Area – with Yosemite NP bordering most of west side and US Highway 395 w/ National Forest situated along the eastern side. Cattle grazing is common in summer months on the National Forest land, so don’t freak out at the cows. Always drive slow and cautiously around all livestock.
