It's a short hike

One thing about Fossil Falls. I wouldnt recommend staying there overnight in the hot part of the year. All that metamorphic rock gets blasted by the

radiating all kinds of heat, all night long. It was not pleasant sleeping. |
It's a short hike. I would advise against camping there anytime. There is a CalTrans rest stop and some sort of store/RV place a few miles north.
If you want to try some trout fishing right off of 395, send me a U2U

The Eastern Sierra is a little like Baja---we all have our favorite fishing holes and special places.

I'm up here now with my dog Luke... wow, what a beautiful place this is! Got here a little early and my room wasn't ready yet, explored a place
called Manzanar, very interesting, then went to a local watering hole here in Lone Pine called Jakes. They insisted that I bring my dog into the bar
and they all loved him. Ash trays on the bar, folks drinking beer and smoking ... I asked the bar tender if he would give me a glass of water for
Luke... he pulled out a stainless steel dog bowl, filled it with water and handed it over to me. Very nice locals here, treated me like I was one of
them.
Tomorrow more exploring! Beautiful weather, not much snow around. Taking lots of pictures. Might just stay another night...

Actually make that 2 hours because you can't miss Skidoo and Aguereberry Point which are along the way.
