-ImagesMy customary winter drive around the Sierra Nevada (at least, around the tall parts). Generally a two day trip, with visits to the hot springs and general sightseeing. Map(s) of perambulations below.
Clockwise loop this time, up US-50 to South Lake Tahoe, over Kingsbury Grade to Gardnerville, down US-395 to Bishop. Continuing south on US-395 to Inyokern, thence over CA-178 through Lake Isabella and down the Kern Canyon to Bakersfield, and home on CA-58 and I-5/580.
Clear and moderately cold
