Highway 395 road trip through Mammoth Lakes, June Lake, Bishop and Bodie in 4K
Highway 395 is one of my favorite roads in California. There are so many amazing hikes, lakes, restaurants, historic spots and photographic opportunities all up and down the drive. Amie and I were invited by Yosemite Gateway Chalet to spend 4 days exploring, and we jumped at the chance. This video focuses on the area from Mammoth Lakes to June Lake but shows lots of other spots you can explore around those areas as well.

My girlfriend and I have lived in California for many years, but had never seen any of the sites in this video. After watching, we were both very inspired to take a road trip to the area and finally see it for ourselves. We visited most of the sites and even most of the restaurants mentioned in the video and we had a total blast! Thanks for what you do Josh!

I don't know what to say or how to say it. The East side is special. I'm just jealous. A surely old man who, once upon a time lived, and traveled, all over California. Your vids are educational for those who need to get out.

Great video. In the sixties when I was in the boy scouts, camped at silver lake. It was June so sunny and warm during the day. We all went swimming in our Jean's. Hung them up to dry overnight and the next morning they were FROZEN. Will not forget that trip. Also saw bear tracks by the lake the next morning. Just feet away from our tents. Love that area.

LA native born and raised here...nice video...its great that the area has be preserved and your generation gets to enjoy it...i spent lots of time with my family and later scouting going up 395...the june lake loop was a favorite although no lodges ,trendy restaurants or bars were to be found...more like 2 pump gas stations to check your radiator...mom and pop cafes..a few 30s style motels and best if all hiking in to camp alongside one if the lakes..the hot springs..going to sleep with a million stars then waking up to the smell of camp coffee at dawn..a half hour fishing at first light bagged enough for pan fried trout and eggs for breakfast while you watched everything wake up..days of hiking..canoeing.,..wouldn't trade that experience for any lodge

@kellyjohnson3617 5 лет назад

I love hwy 395! One of the most beautiful yet I think under appreciated and least known parts of CA. Most think of bishop and mammoth for skiing but I love it better up there other times of the year. So much to see and do and get connected with nature and disconnected from all the trappings of daily life, yet still pampering enough to have restaurants and cabins and stores. Thanks for your video. Had me some ideas of other things to explore next time I’m there.

@yankeebiscuitfan 6 лет назад

Ten years ago I took my son on our first 4-week 10K mike road trip. On this trip we hiked in Death Valley in 120 degrees and five hours later entered Yosemite in 50 degrees. Ten years later, we have made such road trips every summer and every chance we get we make this drive. The scenery is amazing. I only wish I didn’t live almost 3000 miles away.

395 is a must. From home, we picked up 395 where it splits from 15 near Hesperia, CA, all the way up to Billings, British Columbia then 3 and 1 west to interstate 15 near Vancouver, BC, down to Bellingham, then over to our cabin. It is so winding, sometimes it's going south. Amazing road trip.

@toshibavoodoo 6 лет назад

Just took this Scenic Drive, Hit about 3 of your recommended stops, but only had a single day. So I squeezed most of it before the sun went down. It only took 18 hours to go from Temecula to San Marcos through Yosemite. YES. I also took the same pictures!!!

We've traveled 10,000 miles a year for 10 of the last 12 years and explored 48 states. Hwy 395 still stands out as one of the most scenic highways that one can experience. The first time we made the trip there was in April 2010 and everyday of the trip was preceded by a snowfall the day before. The days were warm so the roads were clear (sometimes a bit wet) but were were surrounded by mountains everyday that were covered in fresh snow. Truly a beautiful way to traverse this area. If you have to travel north through California, this is definitely the primo way to do it :-)

The rock band Cinderella filmed a music video at Mono Lake and Bodie for the song "Don't Know What You've Got Till It's Gone" back in 1988. I always wondered where they filmed it, but with no internet back then it was nearly impossible to find out. 8 years later I was sitting in a bar and the video came on the TV. I told the bartender about my curiosity, and he said it was Mono Lake in California. It would be another 13 years after that I moved to Reno and finally got the chance to see Mono and Bodie in person. Since then I have visited the South Tufa five times, and driven past the lake a couple of dozen times. Gotta love the Eastern Sierra!
