Enter a different California when you explore the eastern
Sierra Nevada. The mountains here feel taller, more wild
and exciting. And that means our options for programs are
more varied.
Whether you stay in the
Sierra or venture into the Owens Valley to explore Mono
Lake, cross over the divide into the depths of Death
Valley or take a step back in time to the historic Bodie
Ghost Town, the east side will generate amazement and
delight. You will never forget your visit to the Eastern
Sierra.

The Eastern
Sierra Nevada
With Naturalists
at Large, establish a base camp or a tour camp - your
choice. Spend your time in one location or travel and length and
breath of this remarkable region by bus or automobile.
Better than any old west movie set,
Bodie State
Historic Park
is
a genuine ghost town where you can walk down the deserted
streets of a place that once had a population of 10,000 people.
A small but significant part of the town survives, preserved in a state of
"arrested decay." Interiors remain as they were left, stocked
with furniture and goods, when residents deserted Bodie in search of
greener pastures.
|
Death Valley National Park
has an ominous name that belies its awesome beauty and genetic
diversity.
To the untrained eye Death Valley is a wasteland. To the
experienced NALster, it is not only a place of sublime
beauty, Death Valley is a place that draws you back time and
time again. |

|
From its lowest place [Badwater at -282' below sea
level] to its highest point [Telegraph Peak 11000+ ft] Death
Valley boasts some of the best hiking, bird watching, wildlife
viewing and educational opportunities of any place in
California.

Over 85% of the state population of California Gulls nest at
Mono Lake each year.
The lake is a critical
nesting habitat for several bird species. It's one of North
America's most
productive
ecosystems. |
 |
|
The unique nature of Mono Lake makes it one of the best
places in California to learn about migration, species
diversity and the political role of water in the most
populous state in the Union. Most of the
water for Los Angeles comes from
Mono Lake.
