Where the Waterfalls Are
Lone Pine sits in or near the Eastern Sierra and Owens Valley area of California. The Sierra's eastern escarpment rises abruptly from the Great Basin, and its creeks fall steeply toward Bridgeport, Mammoth Lakes and Big Pine. Snowmelt feeds most of these falls, so they run hardest in early summer and shrink in autumn. Bridgeport and the June Lake and Mammoth areas are the main bases for exploring them. In Inyo County, Fossil Falls is an unusual dry fall: a polished basalt chute carved by an ancient river that no longer flows there, set in desert volcanic terrain south of the Owens Valley.
