During your drive, you can explore the rugged and unexplored landscapes of the Mojave Desert and Southern Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. This round-trip journey starts by traveling through the barren plains of Lamont Meadow before circling around the picturesque 7,871-foot tall Chimney Peak. While you will not be allowed to drive into the Chimney Peak Wilderness area, it does make for a nice stop. Hiking, horseback riding, and fishing are some of the best activities you can do here to break up your 38-mile trip.
