- Highway 395 road trip through Mammoth Lakes, June Lake, Bishop and Bodie in 4K
Highway 395 is one of my favorite roads in California. There are so many amazing hikes, lakes, restaurants, historic spots and photographic opportunities all up and down the drive. Amie and I were invited by Yosemite Gateway Chalet to spend 4 days exploring, and we jumped at the chance. This video focuses on the area from Mammoth Lakes to June Lake but shows lots of other spots you can explore around those areas as well.

California is the most beautiful place I have ever visited. America is blessed to have this landscape:)
Um.... Where have you been?
I agree with you 100 %
@@Harris.S
Have you ever been anywhere lmao?
@@stillnottellingyoumyname8193 yeeees , but California is my home in this past 35 years. I have to love my home.
StillNotTellingYouMyName Absolutely right on the money and one thing not included our great Wine Country.. we have over 3000 wineries in the state.
My girlfriend and I have lived in California for many years, but had never seen any of the sites in this video. After watching, we were both very inspired to take a road trip to the area and finally see it for ourselves. We visited most of the sites and even most of the restaurants mentioned in the video and we had a total blast! Thanks for what you do Josh!
I am from India and I liked this video very much 👌👌👌👌👌
I don't know what to say or how to say it. The East side is special.
I'm just jealous. A surely old man who, once upon a time lived, and traveled, all over California.
Your vids are educational for those who need to get out.
This brings me back in time. The mountains, the skiing at Mammoth, the bars and live music! Bless you both!
I really appreciate you giving the osprey its space! It's nice to see creators making great content without exploiting wildlife or crossing closed trail signs!
As a former Cali guy, (now 83) you’ve created a great gig........ especially with your dad ! He definitely has game .... 🇺🇸⚓️🌴
A Hwy 395 trip is never complete without a stop at Alabama Hills in Lone Pine!
Never heard of it!! I've always just driven thru!
@@emilyanderson7310 you always have to stop at lone Pine u should one day
This looks like a great adventure on Highway 395. Definitely adding this to my travel plans. Thanks a million.
Love that area I grew up in LA used to go camping on the eastern side of Sierras , now I live TN Beautiful to my home now
395 L.A to Tahoe! An AWESOME road trip! Did it a dozen or so times.
Swashbuckling Adventures oh yeah 😎
I loved in Sacramento and worked in bishop for over a year. I made this drive twice a week. It was amazing. Truly God’s country
Thanks for the low music volume! Good scenery doesn't need any music, Beauty in Nature sings it's own song! Thanks!
I love that road... was there a few years ago..it has the most beautiful scenic views ever!! Definitely will go back...
Great Video! Grew up in Mammoth. Its truly beautiful and a great place to live.
I love how much you guys also promoted local businesses in the video! Way to help out the community!
I am such a huge fan of your videos and I love seeing people who share my love of California. As a Midwesterner originally the past few years living out here feel like a vacation every day, this is such an amazing state!
I loved 395 taking it this last winter had some scary parts felt like a rollercoaster but worth the trip so epic
You have great videos. Havent been out west in 50 years. Its a real pleasure looking at your videos.. I know I wont make it out west so you bring it home for me. Thanks
Thanks for watching the videos and following along even from another state!
Loved this video, thanks for posting. I've been to Bodies and Mono Lake but not June Lake. Definitely on my bucket list. Love from the UK xx
That is one of my favorite areas in California! My husband and I camp at Silver Lake a couple of times a year and we never get tired of it!
I love hwy 395! One of the most beautiful yet I think under appreciated and least known parts of CA. Most think of bishop and mammoth for skiing but I love it better up there other times of the year. So much to see and do and get connected with nature and disconnected from all the trappings of daily life, yet still pampering enough to have restaurants and cabins and stores. Thanks for your video. Had me some ideas of other things to explore next time I’m there.
Essentially my life in a nut shell. Favorite place on earth! Tons of stuff left out but there is so much its understandable.
Great job! The whole of the 395 has an excitement that you caught perfectly! Oh an you had fabulous meals - yay! 😆👍
haha all about finding the meals, thats what the people want! :)
@@californiathroughmylens...I think of the few things I truly miss about California, that sheepherder's bread is maybe at the top. Fresh, with real butter, wow. I loved fishing Rush Creek, but even more, the San Joaquin from a bit upstream of the Post Pile. Entire region is beautiful...
I've done the 395 multiple times. Absolutely Gorgeous!
Loved Seeing Highway 395 through Your Eyes
I'm really enjoying California Through my lens and the June Lake Loop is my favorite one so far.
luv the west coast feel like im missing out so much living on the east coast especially as a nature lover
Just a quick note. Put all trails app on your phone. I was amazed at how many trials were in my very own town 😳 it’s a free app and is really good. I’m on the east coast also Florida treasure coast 💘
anita M There are tons of hiking trails, state parks and national parks on east coast. Many are absolutely beautiful.
rolback it’s not the same
Debbi Blakeslee it’s not as beautiful as the west coast
Interesting how few people interject the Southwest. (New Mexico, Utah, Arizona and Colorado). Some amazing places there too.
This has given us so much inspiration for our November cali trip! Thank you for the tips!
OMG! It is wonderful.
Thank you for share this video.
Outstanding presentation on what we have for decades called “The Loop”. Don’t miss the trout fishing at Silver Lake in the early morning. Best reason to stay there for a couple of nights
Such an awesome video, great editing and format. Thanks for sharing.
4 minutes into this and y’all have hooked a new sub. Kudos from Hewitt, Texas. Thank you for sharing! ✌️🎸
Great video. In the sixties when I was in the boy scouts, camped at silver lake. It was June so sunny and warm during the day. We all went swimming in our Jean's. Hung them up to dry overnight and the next morning they were FROZEN. Will not forget that trip. Also saw bear tracks by the lake the next morning. Just feet away from our tents. Love that area.
Sounds like an awesome trip, thanks for sharing!
Same here...the june lake loop was a favorite of our scouting groups...way before lodges and breweries...bishop and mono were small towns ..
O yeh , June lake is one of my favorites too , beautiful scenery , absolutely gorgeous .
Such a great trip! And such a great video highlighting the best spots!!
The Chalet Reps definitely picked the right couple to stay in there place...Wow..didnt know 395 had sooo many things to eat ,, see,, and do...awesome vid Josh.. !! Informative as always !
Thanks Ian, appreciate the support and be sure to take a Highway 395 road trip, its amazing.
I’ve traveled East to west and north to south covering more than 30 states, this is one of the amazing road I traveled!
Wow idk how I missed this...every part of this journey I want to take myself! Once again thanks Josh and Amy!!!
I've been up & down 395 many times through the years. But, my trips were decidedly lower budget.
Fun though. Groove on.
Great video again. We stayed in Bishop years ago after we left Yosemite. But there is more to see for sure.
Thanks, I appreciate the comment! I agree, I always find lots of places to explore in that area.
Been around that area several times and never heard of Hot Creek before - will go! Thank you so much.
This is fantastic. I haven’t been to the Devils post pile since I was a teenager in the 1970s. Going to take my son there, thanks for all the great tips
Josh & Aimee this popped up again in my feed and I was so excited to rewatch the video. Silver Lake Resort and the surrounding areas have been a huge part of my life for the last 30 years. It’s the California most have not explored. Good times.
Great video. You held my attention the whole time. I enjoyed the narration
Simply amazing!
395, Lone Pine, Bishop, Mammoth Lakes is the only thing I truly miss about California. I used to take 1 -2 solo fishing trips every year and it was the very best.
That’s almost exactly what I want to do on my birthday weekend thanks for the great video
Did the Hwy 395 trip in July 2019. Had a blast. This is "The Other California" and I am glad I got to see it. Thank you for sharing your video.
395 is a must. From home, we picked up 395 where it splits from 15 near Hesperia, CA, all the way up to Billings, British Columbia then 3 and 1 west to interstate 15 near Vancouver, BC, down to Bellingham, then over to our cabin. It is so winding, sometimes it's going south. Amazing road trip.
That drive from Lone Pine north in the winter is as pristine and fantastic vistas as anywhere in the world. No exaggeration.
wow it is a great video that gives a lot of informative useful things that I can refer for my California travel. thanks for sharing your video.
I travel a lot and highway 395 remains one of my favorites 👍🏼❤️
Ready for a road trip down 395 Highway Loved watching your videos!! 🙌🏽
aw man. 395 is too beautiful. bringing back so many memories right now
LA native born and raised here...nice video...its great that the area has be preserved and your generation gets to enjoy it...i spent lots of time with my family and later scouting going up 395...the june lake loop was a favorite although no lodges ,trendy restaurants or bars were to be found...more like 2 pump gas stations to check your radiator...mom and pop cafes..a few 30s style motels and best if all hiking in to camp alongside one if the lakes..the hot springs..going to sleep with a million stars then waking up to the smell of camp coffee at dawn..a half hour fishing at first light bagged enough for pan fried trout and eggs for breakfast while you watched everything wake up..days of hiking..canoeing.,..wouldn't trade that experience for any lodge
Neat! I wish I could go on a trip like that.
FANTASTIC Interesting , we never get tired of this road and never will.
Your videos are very informative, you are like a modern-day Huell Howser! Good work and thanks for the ideas.
I've been on this entire trip but as a teenager. It's time to do it again, thanks for inspiring me!
We've traveled 10,000 miles a year for 10 of the last 12 years and explored 48 states. Hwy 395 still stands out as one of the most scenic highways that one can experience. The first time we made the trip there was in April 2010 and everyday of the trip was preceded by a snowfall the day before. The days were warm so the roads were clear (sometimes a bit wet) but were were surrounded by mountains everyday that were covered in fresh snow. Truly a beautiful way to traverse this area. If you have to travel north through California, this is definitely the primo way to do it :-)
I love Schats. It is a must stop. Mammoth is a place that I grew at. As a family we were there all the time. 395 is very special to me. Keep traveling my friend.
Thank You for Sharing Beautiful Video. Great Work !
Ten years ago I took my son on our first 4-week 10K mike road trip. On this trip we hiked in Death Valley in 120 degrees and five hours later entered Yosemite in 50 degrees. Ten years later, we have made such road trips every summer and every chance we get we make this drive. The scenery is amazing. I only wish I didn’t live almost 3000 miles away.
june lake is my usual spot but i havent ventured much outside of that. im totally recreating this journey next time
Very nice cabin!! The scenery out there is amazing. I really enjoy your videos!
That was an awesome trip... I haven't been up there in years... I need to get up there soon. Thanks for sharing.
No problem, thanks for watching
Hwy 395 is definitely an excellent showcase for California's extremely varied beauty!
Oh This Is Sooo Rad Thanks For Sharing This Beauty Of Cali❣️❣️❣️
Thank you for the informative video. We are driving up 395 next weekend. I am getting super excited about our trip.
Just took this Scenic Drive, Hit about 3 of your recommended stops, but only had a single day. So I squeezed most of it before the sun went down. It only took 18 hours to go from Temecula to San Marcos through Yosemite. YES. I also took the same pictures!!!
Wow, that sounds like a long day but I am sure it was great. My trips are usually pretty crazy too but its fun when I have a few days to stay in one area like this.
Thanks for sharing the memories. Wonderful.
I'ts rush, but memory which can't be deleted...I did 2.5k miles in 3.5 days with...co driver, would do it anytime again
Enjoyable trip. My first trip on 395 was 1976. Then this summer once in September to hike Whitney. Then during Thanksgiving to hike Alabama hills. Did visit June lakes loop. And Mammouth. Loved it.
Thanks
Glad you love Highway 395 as well!
I've lived there(June Lake)since 1967, my family has been there since 1921... beautiful
Thank you for all of this information. I used this video and your Ebook to help plan our recent vacation. We spent a week camping (French Road campground) with 4 kids and had a fabulous time. I can't recommend this trip enough for the pure beauty, awesome hikes and sightseeing opportunities.. For those with kids, the ranger program at Devil's Postpile was fabulous (thank you Ranger Anna).
So many amazing things to see!
Thank you for all your tips! Heading to mammoth soon!!!
Thanks for sharing this trip, it looked great and I hope I can do it someday soon.
Man love this place lucky I have been to the many stops and thanks for the help on finding new ones!! Pls let’s keep our nature clean!!
This is such an awesome road trip!!
I appreciate roundtrip videos that show where to get your drinks and food along the way. Yummmm!😀
My summer vacation spots every year. Great video 👍
Keep up the awesome work!!
Had to re-visit this one! All great - thanks for a nice little escape :)
Awesome video guys. I'm heading up there this week and I can't wait. New sub!
Thanks for sharing your fine video my friend. Hwy.#395 is one of the most picturesque areas in the U.S. You take care out there and be safe. 🤗
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
Just found this, great video. Thanks for sharing! One of my favorites, truth be told Bodie kinda freaked me out but really cool. Do like the rain as it can cool of this old two wheel rider. 😁👍🏼
Thankyou you two for letting us tag along with you on your trip!
What great chalet & just looking at that delicious food made our mouths water ! - once again thankyou !
... one day I will hopefully get to travel in your foot steps it seemed to be such a great weekend vacation you shared !
Thankyou !
... Long Weekend !
Great video!!!! In the future, I want to travel 395. It looks like a beautiful road trip.
Flies are pretty interesting to see in person 👏👏what a sense of humor.
Great Vid! This is one of our favorite trips. We went two years in a row during spring, summer and winter times. We visited the same places except Devil's Postpile was closed. Hoping to get back there soon. Love your videos! Keep it up.
Thanks, I have been in the winter and it is so fun to see all the snow-covered mountains. I need to get up there in the fall this year and see the colors.
I'm doing a trip there in a few weeks and this will be a great guide for me; thanks so much!
california is the most beautiful state. fight me on it
I don't think you want me to take you up on that. I'm from Detroit.
Have your Nanny drop you off at the park. Fight is at 3pm.
Run by Libtard Democrats.
@@beerborn Nature does not do politics.....
utah is, that's just the facts
Just to love the way you two narrate
I love pops time laps!
I love Bishop and stopping by the Bakery. So many good things there. Then on to June Lake and having dinner at the tiger bar. So much fun.
Your videos are the best! I'm planning a trip to California because of you.
Cheers from Brazil.
Supper well-done video of our home town area! I will share it with my peps. Thanks!
Lovely 395 road.
Awesome video. I lived in CA for years and used to go up 395 to ski. Great nostalgia.
I have been up 395 dozens of times starting while I was in grade school. Our family used to stay in the housekeeping cabins in Yosemite every year. Then high school and college it was skiing at Mammoth. Also we would drive all the way to Tahoe. One time on the way up we were driving at night during a full moon and the section of road from Mono Lake to Tahoe was breathtaking. I will never forget that section of road in the full moon in winter. And I used to go to hot Creek before they closed it to swimming. It's probably a good idea that they closed it but it was kind of fun to go out there in the creek and experienced the temperature changes. We all need a little Adventure in our lives.
Super fun video. It shows that you guys worked hard on this.
Thanks for the timely post on this one. The wife and I are planning to take a slow run up from Vegas to NorCal week after next....some nice idea refreshers for a guy who hasn't been that far south on 395 in AGES (I can see a much more northern part of it out my window as I write this....lol).
No problem! Highway 395 has such a crazy amount of spots to explore!
