Places of Interests
Some of the more interesting spots to eat or go to near by.
The food is not health minded. But good for ones in need of the best burger, onion rings or Prime rib. They have a small store to fill in for some items, beer, wine some food, etc... plus fishing supplies and souvenirs.
Classic rustic Bar with history and humor all over the walls. This was a common stop as a Hotel, restaurant and gas station in the day when coming up the grade from Bishop was an adventure.
You'll get friendly service and sometime a little guff. Its part of the country feel. Just relax and enjoy yourself without any expectations.

Trails to hike
These are some of my favorites. But explore as I'm still finding new corners to go around.
A spectacular hike. Higher elevation but worth every step. There are lakes, water falls and river scenes. Your camera won't stop. Fishing and fly fishing is a must.
