The first stop is at Parker Lake. It is relatively easy to get there by taking a short hike. The trail passes through a beautiful wilderness zone, and despite the few steep and rocky climbs, the icing on the cake is simply marveling at this pristine turquoise lake. The Twin Lakes comprise an upper and lower section for those who want to see other ponds. In this place, spectacular landscapes and a peaceful environment are to be enjoyed. It is also a popular spot for those who want to fish. Moreover, if some travelers want to go boating, kayaking or paddleboarding, they must go to June Lake. Here again, the panorama is breathtaking.
One of the most intriguing experiences in the Eastern Sierra is a visit to the hot springs. The Buckeye hot springs, in particular, are a favorite among tourists. Located along the banks of Buckeye Creek, near Bridgeport, California, they offer a unique journey via Highway 395. The short road trip to the springs is an adventure in itself, and the reward is a relaxing soak with a stunning mountain view.
Another must-see in the Eastern Sierra is Rainbow Falls, not far from the Mammoth Lakes. As the name suggests, a rainbow usually graces the mist of the falls, but timing is critical. Indeed, to witness this magical phenomenon, it's best to visit when the sun is at its highest, around noon.
The Eastern Sierra also allows holidaymakers to discover a magnificent geological site. It is known as Hot Creek and is only about fifteen minutes from Mammoth Lakes. This sector is known for the active geothermal springs found there. Once again, Highway 395 is the route to get there, and there is a short trail leading to this treasure of nature. In addition, warning signs alert visitors to stay away from boiling water and unstable ground. ◄
