Highway 395 Road Trip

Along this roughly 200-mile stretch of US 395, from Mono Lake and Bodie to Convict Lake and Alabama Hills, nearly every turnoff presents you with vistas of wild wonder. A good road trip shows off the diversity of the land, and this one delivers, winding from arid desert to sagebrush plains to alpine mountains. Along the way are some of the Sierra’s most photo-worthy sights—get ready to show off shots of tufa towers, ghost towns, and the Alabama Hill’s famous arch.
