Holiday Campground is conveniently located in the Mono Lake region of Eastern California, and is one of the only campgrounds that remains open in the winter.

Holiday Campground is the perfect spot to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The campground is close to a variety of recreational opportunities, including hiking, mountain biking, and trail running.

In the winter, water is shut off so bring plenty of extra potable water for cooking and drinking. The campground provides bathrooms, bear boxes, and fire rings. The campsites accommodate tent campers and RVs. There are no fees to camp in the winter. In the summer, the fee is $25/night.

Starting from Mammoth Lakes you head South on Highway 395 until you get to Benton Crossing Rd. (Green Church on the corner) and make a left. From Bishop you head North for about 30-40 miles until you hit Benton Crossing Rd. and make a right. From here, continue West and bending South for close to 20 miles. You will pass many turn offs, but you are looking for a dirt road that will be 2 miles ...

McGee Creek

McGee Creek is one of my favorite spots in the Eastern Sierra to photography the fall color. Most people avoid the area because the best views require you to hike and explore but the rewards are worth it. Right close to the parking lot is McGee Creek which is a beautiful creek to photograph offering intimate water shots with the golden aspens. Or hike up the trail that right off provides dramat...

Steelhead Lake via McGee Creek

Whether you’re looking for a dayhike near Mammoth Lakes, planning a backpacking trip along the JMT, or have a few extra hours to spare on a cross-California road trip, this is an easy and popular trail choice for killer mountain views. I was delighted to discover that this is one of the most easily accessible trailheads in the Eastern Sierras. You’ll be looking for the McGee Creek Road exit of...

Red Slate Mountain via McGee Creek

I would recommend you spend the night in the area to acclimatize, since the trailhead does start at ~8,000ft and you will be hiking up to ~10,500ft at the end of the first day and climbing up to 13,100ft on the second day. One option would be to reserve a spot at the nearby McGee Creek Campground. The trailhead is at a decent sized parking lot found at the very end of McGee Creek Road. Althoug...

Fish for a Sierra Grand Slam in Little Lakes

Access to this relatively mellow (for the Sierras) trail can be reached via Rock Creek Road off of Highway 395, north of the town of Bishop, California. Following Rock Creek road southwest until its terminus will take you directly to the parking lot and signed trailhead for Little Lakes Valley.From the parking lot the trail ascends gently through Little Lakes Valley, following meandering Rock C...

Backpack to Ruby Lake

At 10,200 feet, the trailhead (Little Lakes Valley) for Ruby Lake is one of the highest (if not the highest) in the Sierra. Meaning you get right to the heart of the mountains quickly. Ruby Lake itself is at 11,200 feet elevation.How to get there: At Tom's Place off of Hwy 395, turn southwest into the range on the Rock Creek Road, head 10.5 miles until the road ends at Mosquito Flat.You start t...
