EASTERN SIERRA Road Trip in 4K | June Lake Loop | Full Time Truck Camper Living | Van Life

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

I know that many viewers aren't able to hike for varying reasons so I wanted to create a video of locations that are all accessible by vehicle (during the non heavy snow months). No hiking required. These are spots everyone can enjoy and all very beautiful....including 4 lakes within the June Lake Loop. PS: Filmed before the current California lockdown.

[@markwolf9721]

Hi you mentioned most viewers are not able to hike is that coming from you tube age statistics of your subscribers just curious I'm the 55+ thank you so much for all your videos vehicle accessable or not we have the memories through your lens safe and happy travels 😃🌲🌵♥️✌️👍

[@paolo-n2000]

Hi Cat! Great video! I spent a lot of time in this area back in May and June. I really love it! Incredible alpine lake hiking! Your video is bringing back happy memories! Thank you very much!

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

@@markwolf9721 it's based on the many comments I receive from folks that tell me they can't hike anymore so they come along vicariously through my videos. Thank you!

Excellent idea! I would buy one!👍

[@abcsandoval]

Also, create an index of your videos like a book index. So that they can be searched by location name, region etc. A searchable database essentially.

That 395 house I paused it and just imagine back to that time the house was built and the amazing view the owners were able to experience every day. Great video Catherine

[@CatherineGregoryAdventures]

Thank you Mark.

[@Anti-leftist7777]

My dad took me, my siblings and mother to June and Silver lakes for vacation when I was a kid, we stayed at the Carson Creek Inn a few times, fished in both lakes and took horses up to Gem lake which was north west just above Silver lake about a 4 mile hike, I was about 12 years old the first time, simply loved it. We caught tons of 7" brook trout in Gem lake, every cast yielded a fish. As a result of the trips I fell in love with the Sierras and camped there every year through high school and beyond. The memories poured back while watching your video, the clean crisp air, the icy and crystal clear waters of June lake which we jumped in from the south part of the lake, the only beach on the lake as I recall and the anticipation of waking up at 5:00 AM to go fishing as a child was my favorite of all time. Oh yes, the drive you showed with June lake below on the right, I will never forget seeing that for the first and last time. Thanks for posting this Catherine. I have a feeling you love me.

[@deborahm6036]

Thank you so much Catherine for another sublime and peaceful Sunday video.

Hi Catherine. I’d like to express my heartfelt appreciation for what you’re doing. I lost my wife 10 weeks ago to ALS. She LOVED the mountains. She was always sneaking off to Jasper in Alberta any time she got the chance. That’s where I’ll spread her ashes. This video made me cry. It’s like you captured her spirit with some of those shots. You have an amazing gift. Please keep sharing it. And thank you, so much, as this was so very therapeutic for me. Be well, Rob.

Still amazed by the Sierra footage... will be doing a lot of my filming in Oregon soon (half the year I work as a wildlife surveyor), but 100% going to explore out in the Sierras after the season's over. Just gorgeous!

Thank you Catherine for this video, the Eastern Sierras is one of my favorites too. My Step-dad started taking us up there when I was little and we camped and fished all over. When we stayed in the June Lake loop I hiked up above Silver Lake to the John Muir trail and fished for Silver trout above 10K feet each time. My favorite camp was Gull lake but they are all great. Happy camping!!!

Stay Safe and God Bless .....

[@alexanderweaver4838]

June Lake Loop is one of the most spectacular drives in the Mammoth area. My brother and I used to trout fish the lakes there. I would often windsurf on Grant or Silver depending on the wind conditions. My brother parks his 55foot camper trailer up there somewhere during the spring, summer and early fall and enjoy the trout fishing offered. Gorgeous area! Great job in capturing the beauty!

[@fractalnomics]

Really nice, thank you. I am a New Zealander, I was through there in 2013, beautiful, very special memories.

[@mobiltec]

I worked and lived in June Lake for a year. I fished all four lakes and Rush Creek. There are trails that you can hike up into the Sierras to places like Fern Lake. Also lived and worked in Bishop for a few years. To top it all off I had 3 Silver claims just north of Lone pine with a nice little cabin that had it's own year round spring. I know the whole area well. Flew my hang glider from Walt's Point to Janies Ranch many times. You're in my back yard.

Catherine, we're really lucky that the shoulder season is so exceptional this year -- a photographer's treat! And just as the roads are starting to come under winter's gaze, the backcountry has also been an iffy proposition for some weeks now. An October hike out of Lake Sabrina years ago had to be curtailed by our Plan B route when a storm blew in on the a second day of a planned weeklong trip . . . exhilarating!

[@randalltom9750]

Hello again Catherine... I didn’t make the June Lake Loop when I was down on the Eastern Sierras... My brother & I rode our bikes down to Yosemite this year... He and my other brother had permits to climb the Half Dome, and when the Park opened, we rode down to Lee Vining, CA. I rode up to Tioga Pass with him, and while I couldn’t enter (no permit), it was incredible... I continued on down to Bishop, and met up with him at Lee Vining three days later. Those three days were amazing. I camped under the stars, me and my Harley... and watched the world spin. I did ride up to Lundy Lake. I loved Bridgeport... and camped east of there one night. I also rode up to Bodie... the Eastern Sierras are special. I travel lite... two saddle bags crammed full of clothes, gear, water & some food. I love primitive camping, it’s primal. Where being exposed, means we rely on the basic of gear. You face your fears, and use your senses, both common, and developed. Heightened, and alert, and alive. You can appreciate the beauty around you more... when you smell the sage, hear the coyotes, and warm to your smoldering fire. A quick jump into a frigid creek, and your fresh for the new day. Prior, make sure hot water is reaching it’s boil. Instant Starbucks helps warm your core and prevent the danger of hypothermia... Brrrrr & Yumm! Thanks again for your infectious video content... have a safe and memorable journey. Randall

Sounds like you’ve got everything dialed in. Happy Holidays Randall.
