These guys are great. Coming down from Mt Whitney on Sunday 8/4 my group of 6 backpackers had car trouble at Whitney Portal and ultimately had to have the car towed by AAA into Lone Pine late Sunday afternoon. Unfortunately the towtruck only had room for 2 of us so we had to leave 4 members of our party at the Portal with the promise we would find someway to rescue them once we got to Lone Pine. The good folks at the Dow Villa Motel recommended Eastern Sierra Transport so I rang them up and talked with Bob, who I believe is the owner. Bob arranged for an Eastern Sierra Transport van to swing by the Dow Villa and pick me up and drove me up to the Portal to retrieve my 4 comrades. I thought the price at $15 per person was pretty reasonable given the circumstances. The van rolled up to the motel within 5 minutes and was neat and clean and the driver (wish I could remember his name) was very friendly and knowledgeable of the area and a great conversationalist. We zipped up to the portal, retrieved the 4 hikers, and were back at the Dow Villa in time for a pizza feast over at the Pizza Factory. Very satisfied with the service and would highly recommend them. They apparently provide trailhead transport services all over the eastern Sierra Nevada and Death Valley. read more
