Located in California's beautiful Eastern Sierra in Inyo and Mono counties, the Inyo National Forest in Mono County is the east gateway to Yosemite and Inyo County is the west gateway to Death Valley. Mono/Inyo Counties offer clean air, crystal blue skies, mountain lakes and streams, challenging trails, high mountain peaks and beautiful views. Inyo County has the lowest and the highest points in the continental United States. Death Valley National Park (Elevation -282 below sea level) is 105 miles east and Mt. Whitney (Elevation 14,497) is 14 miles to the west of Lone Pine. With over two million acres, the Inyo National Forest is home to many natural wonders including Mt. Whitney, Mono Lake, Mammoth Lakes Basin and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest. More than 800,000 acres are in nine Congressionally-designated Wilderness Areas. Diverse geologic features, combined with the elevation, extremes produces a wide range of climatic conditions resulting in tremendous floristic diversity on the Forest, with vegetation communities ranging from desert scrub, sagebrush scrub and Pinyon woodland, to Jeffrey Pine, Lodgepole pine and alpine habitats. Both counties are high-use recreation-oriented resort areas with a full range of winter and summer outdoor recreation. These opportunities include backpacking, fishing, hunting, hang gliding, cross-country skiing, downhill skiing, cycling, mountain biking, photography, rock climbing and horseback riding.
