The loop's central location allows for easy access to almost all of the
Eastern Sierra's great attractions.
The eerie ghost town of Bodie
State Historical Park is an amazing journey into the past. The Mono
Lake Tufa Reserve is and awe-inspiring natural oddity that will amaze
you. Tioga Pass, Tuolomne Meadows, Yosemite, and Devil's
Postpile National Monument are just a few of the many other nearby
sites. Within easy driving distance is Mineral
County, Nevada. Mineral County's unique combination of modern industry,
deserted mining towns, abundant recreation and western hospitality make it
an area in the State of Nevada for the visitor to enjoy.
In the wintertime, you'll find that June Lake is the perfect blend of
solitude, beauty, and Alpine excitement.
June Mountain provides 2,500 vertical feet of downhill skiing excitement.
And though it's owned and operated by the same folks who run Mammoth Mt.,
June Mountain has long enjoyed the reputation of being a fine family ski
resort, offering friendly service and a variety of snow activities.
The mountain offers lessons in Nordic (cross-country) skiing, but you may
just want to take off by yourself and enjoy the miles of groomed
cross-country trails around June Lake.
Snowmobiliers know that the Loop offers a huge selection of rideable
terrain. Many large snowmobiling events take place every February at June
Lake.
Indeed, the winters here are kept warm with family fun and outdoor
adventure.
Summer, on the other hand, brings the ultimate in outdoor recreation to
the Loop. Mountain bikers will find plenty of trails. The warm Sierra
sunshine may coax you into taking a dip at June or Grant Lakes. Grant offers
the perfect spot for powerboating and waterskiing, not to mention sailing
and boardsailing.
You'll probably be inspired to take one of the many hiking trails nearby
to explore (in color) the stark grandeur of the Ansel Adams wilderness.
