Your Gateway to the Eastern Sierra

Welcome to Inyo National Forest

The Inyo National Forest is a land of superlatives: 

  • the oldest trees,
  • the tallest mountains in California, and
  • among the oldest inland lake (Mono Lake).

Add to that desert and glaciers in the dramatic Eastern Sierra.

Get ready for a memorable visit.
