In case you missed it… Here’s a look at tonight’s full moon just before Mars passed behind it (see bottom left of the moon). This is called an occultation (when one object (in this case, Mars) is hidden from the observer by another object (the moon) that passes between them). Grateful we had clear skies to be able to see this unique celestial event. Did you happen to catch it? #space #moon #astrophotography #occultation #mars #nightsky #nightphotography #astronomy #outerspace

The setting sun quickened our steps as we made the final approach to Bull Lake. The 2-mile hike from South Lake was a little steeper than we anticipated, though we were probably just getting used to the elevation change, as it was our first day in the Eastern Sierras and we started at an elevation of over 9000 feet! #fallincalifornia #california #bishopca #bishopcreek #highway395 #easternsierras #inyocounty #visitbishop #VisitCalifornia #californiaroadtrip #bulllake

The 2-mile trail to Bull Lake was fairly steep toward the end, and daylight was starting to fade, however the beauty that awaited us at the end of the trail was one of our favorite memories from our recent trip to the Eastern Sierras.

Looking for fall foliage in California? Bishop Creek is an excellent area for viewing stunning fall colors in the Eastern Sierras. Golden aspens line the roads and dot the hillsides with colorful splashes of yellow. #fall #fallfoliage #fallcolors #leafpeeping #peakfoliage #fallincalifornia #california #bishopca #bishopcreek #highway395 #easternsierras #inyocounty #visitbishop #VisitCalifornia #californiaroadtrip

The drive around North Lake in Bishop Creek is an excellent area for viewing fall colors in the Eastern Sierras. This past weekend, the colors were peaking and the pops of yellow (and a little bit of orange) were all around! The foliage will continue to peak for a few more days, so get there soon before the best nature show in California ends for the season. #fall #fallfoliage #fallcolors #leafpeeping #peakfoliage #fallincalifornia #california #bishopca #bishopcreek #highway395 #easternsierras #inyocounty #visitbishop #VisitCalifornia #californiaroadtrip

Just 20 minutes north of Mammoth Lakes, California is the town of June Lake. A 16-mile scenic drive takes you past 4 lakes and jaw-dropping beauty. The scenery was so beautiful we drove the June Lake Loop twice, so we could experience it in both directions! (June Lake pictured in this batch of photos; stay tuned for the rest of the drive.) we can easily see why this region is called the “Switzerland of California”. #VisitMammoth #MammothLakes #California #JuneLake #ScenicDrive #JuneLakeLoop #scenicdrive #roadtrip #mountains #mountainsarecalling

Not far off US Route 395, Convict Lake is the perfect road trip stop in Mammoth Lakes, CA. How’d this lake get its name? In September 1871, a group of convicts escaped from a prison in Carson City, Nevada, and were cornered by a local posse by the lake. A shootout took place and two members of the posse were killed. The convicts were eventually caught and two were brought to frontier justice (i.e. - hanged). Convict Lake one of the deepest lakes in the Sierra Nevada range, and its water is crystal clear! If you need to stretch your legs, there’s a 3-mile moderately easy hike that goes around the lake. Want an abbreviated stroll (or roll) along the water’s edge? There’s a 0.3-mile accessible trail, complete with a wheelchair-friendly fishing dock. We walked the short waterfront trail, tossed rocks in the lake, and played in the little bit of snow that remained on the ground. Great short stop on our way into Mammoth! #convictlake #mammothlakes #mammothlakesca #visitmammoth #sierranevadamountains #visitcalifornia #395roadtrip #usroute395
