"Fun with the Family"

The name “Inyo” comes from a Native American word meaning “dwelling place of the great spirit.” The Inyo National Forest was named after Inyo County, in which much of the forest resides. Here you’ll find more than two million acres of clean air, crystal blue skies, mountain lakes and streams, challenging trails, high mountain peaks, and beautiful views. The Inyo National Forest is home to many nat
ural wonders, including Mt. Whitney, Mono Lake, Mammoth Lakes Basin, and the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, as well as seven congressionally designated wildernesses, comprising more than 650,000 acres of land. Recreational opportunities include camping, picnicking, hiking, backpacking, equestrian use, and off-highway vehicle use. One hundred-plus miles of trails are groomed for multiple-purpose winter use snowmobiling, skiing, and hiking), and approximately 45 miles of trails are groomed for cross-country skiing.
