But the 5 star standout is the wonderful staff, who are a repository of valuable information and just all around lovely people. Especially Joe- who whetted my wanderer palate with some great new haunts in western nevada and was just a very kind and soulful person to spend some time with. Please stop by no matter how many times you've been to the eastern Sierra- you won't be disappointed

A night and day difference compared to other information centers. The last evening of my trip while…read moreleaving town, I stopped in for some maps. I was greeted by Joe. A real treat to meet this man. Along with sharing enthusiasm and value of nature, he was super knowledgeable about hiking the eastern sierra and photographing it. His service was personable like was common decades ago. Thank you Joe. The visitor center is cool with a vintage feel, well stocked with pamphlets, magazines, books and maps, with plenty of free options. Glad to know there are still thriving spots like this.

Must added to the list for hiking / beach/ kayak spot…read more No need a big jeep or any special vehicle. You will be fine as it's easy to get down to these stone pillars with 2 mi hike. Very easy flat step - straight road. Actually there's one big deep hold up hill at the beginning and one slightly slippery downhill to the lake. General, worth the hike and time to visit the unique nature made sandstone pillars. A beautiful place with peaceful quiet lake. You can hang around right at the lake or do kayak Tips: - When you are inside - under these columns, never look up. There is always some sand falling from top. - No restroom / trash bin / info center. Make sure bring water and essential items. - Plan to arrive early so you can come back around before noon. And use a lot of sunscreen in summer. No shade at all. Like walk in the middle of dessert! - Parking spots are marked correctly in google map. No actually parking signs. You just find your own the spot closest to the first hill and leave the car there at your own risk for 1hr at least. - follow google map. There's some crosspath and no signage!

From the 395, there's a nice dirt road to Crowley Lake but you can only go so far with a regular…read morecar. A 4x4 off road vehicle is needed to access the stone columns for the last mile or two. There's a hill with really bad ruts. Another way to access the columns is to kayak to them. We saw a kayaker who parked his car at another beach off the lake and kayaked over. There is a steep sandy trail down to the beach where the columns are. The water was high when we were there so fortunately we couldn't access the larger columns that day. It's definitely worth the visit when the water level in the lake is low to see these unique stone columns.

I was stranded at the side of the road a few miles before Big Pine, was anxious and somewhat afraid. The car was so hot and it was unsafe to get out due to everyone whizzing by. I had already called AAA. He pulled up and approached me with a smile, saw what was wrong, talked to me and stayed until AAA arrived. As the step-mother of a CHP officer I was impressed with his kindness and professionalism. It was so refreshing to see a man who truly loves his job!!! Thank you Officer Otten!!!!!
