The rugged beauty of the Eastern Sierra brims with rich desert life and cultural history. A conservation group called Friends of the Inyo wants to educate people about the region with a weekend of camping and stargazing this May.
The Lost Sierra Route will connect Lake Tahoe with the northern Sierra Nevada. Project coordinators hope the trail will make a big impact on the region.
The first phase will open next year. but wil grow over the next seven years to connect 15 towns in Northern California and a slice of Nevada with 600 miles of multi-use trails.
