This short but sweet 34-mile road trip through Owens Valley can be done any time of the year. Spring brings wildflowers, popping up across the fields in various rainbow colors. Or come during fall to see the leaves change to vibrant shades of reds and yellows. As you make your way from Bishop to the Inyo National Forest, you will also get up close to pinyon-juniper forests and the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains.
