In this short, the Cranky Camper shares a drive along one of America's steepest- and scenic- drivable mountain passes. The Sonora Pass, a winding stretch of California 108 offers beautiful views and is a gateway to adventure.
The adventure continues along U.S. 395 with a trip to June Lake, Hilltop Hot Springs, and Lee Vining.
Bridgeport, California is located in the heart of the Eastern Sierra Nevadas along U.S. 395. It is an adventurer's paradise, with hot springs, hiking trails, and the possibly haunted Bodie State Historic Park.
