EASTERN SIERRAS, CALIFORNIA

Also known as that time I took my in-laws to a nudist colony.

Ancient Bristle Cone Pine Forest

Ryan is obsessed with the Eastern Sierras.  He’s been a couple of times on fishing/camping trips with his buddies, and he raves about it every time he returns.  So when Ryan’s parents were coming to join us on our adventure for a couple of weeks, he really wanted to take them to the Eastern Sierras for part of the trip.  We drove our little caravan of campers up from Joshua Tree to the Eastern Sierras, which is an area of central California that falls on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, close to Yosemite and Sequoia National Park but on the other side of the range.  It is a beautiful, remote part of the state where the mountains fall straight down into a beautiful open valley.  It’s difficult to get to, which is why it remains relatively unspoiled and off the beaten path – perfect for us!
