Located in California’s beautiful Eastern Sierra in Inyo and Mono counties, the Inyo National Forest is the east gateway to Yosemite and the west gateway to Death Valley. Clean air, crystal blue skies, mountain lakes and streams, challenging trails, high mountain peaks and beautiful views – what more could you ask for? Inyo County has the lowest and the highest points in the continental United States. 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, produce 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.
