June Lake was the last stop of our road trip and we loved this area of the Eastern Sierras so much. We definitely went in shoulder season - after the beautiful summer and before the big snowfalls that allow winter sports like skiing and snowshoeing to begin.
We stayed at a cute little cabin in the tiny town and it was easy access to everything! Many things were closed (well COVID played a role I'm sure), but we were content to cook our own meals, go on hikes during the day, and settle back into our cozy cabin in the evenings.
Our first stop was Convict Lake, which ended up being a favorite! It was an easy walk around the lake and Indy loved it! It was far too cold for him to swim, but that didn't stop him from trying.
The next day, we went over to the Mammoth Lakes area to do a hike, but were halted in our tracks due to icy conditions on the road! We walked around the lake, saw people ice skating, and generally froze our butts off before retreating to our cabin to warm up.
The next day, it was a bit warmer, so we braved the roads and went to Mono Lake. This lake is an alkaline lake (like the Dead Sea) and all of those minerals created unique "tufa" structures around the lake.
On the way back, we explored our little town of June Lake some more, drove the June Lake Loop, and vowed to come back when it was warmer to explore more. We loved this area so much that we actually decided to book a month of our "Remote Life Adventure" in Mammoth Lakes in June!
We were sad to leave but excited about stopping at Erick Schat's Bakery in Bishop! We grabbed lunch and a few loaves of bread en route to San Diego. This place has a constant line of people, but is definitely worth the wait!
Up Next: Our official remote work life begins in San Diego! We spent the rest of November and all of December hiking, eating, and exploring San Diego.
