We are from out of town, but the Mammoth Lakes area means a lot to us, so we wanted to take our maternity pictures there over the holidays. After researching a few photographers, we ended up booking with Amy. From the beginning she was so easy to communicate with (even over the holidays) and made it stress-free! We talked about the look/feel of what we wanted, she suggested places and she even went to scout locations and lighting before so she could see what we liked and get the timing for lighting perfect! On the actual day of shooting, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout the whole process. She had different spots that the lighting was beautiful amongst nature and she was so easy to get along with! As for our photos, I couldn't imagine capturing the beautiful surroundings and my family any more perfect than Amy did! The lighting is incredible and it's clear that she really knows how to work with the environment around her. Thank you for the beautiful memories, Amy!

Her vibe is lush, dreamy, ethereal... everything we could have asked for on our special day. She grows her own flowers and was willing to source or grow varieties based on our preferences. Her approach is personal. We decided to repurpose many of the arrangements from our ceremony for the reception, and Jacky arranged not only a seamless transition but recycling/composting what we didn't take with us. I highly recommend Alpenglow Gardens to anyone hosting a special event in the Eastern Sierra.

We wanted the day to feel wild, romantic, humble, and enchanting, and it really did. We also wanted to reuse flowers between two days of events, and Jacky found a way to do so that didn't compromise any of the arrangements and also fit within our budget. She was so easy to work with - creative, professional, and personable. She listened to what we wanted and also guided us with her expertise in a direction that worked with the setting, season, and practicality of flowers. We received so many compliments on the floral arrangements. Would highly recommend Jacky and Alpenglow Gardens!

A Wonderful Step Back in Time at Laws Railroad Museum…read more We absolutely loved our visit to the Laws Railroad Museum & Historic Site in Bishop, California! From the moment we arrived, everyone was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. There was so much to see and explore that we could have spent hours there. The museum is like stepping into an entire little town from another era. There's an old schoolhouse, a library, historic buildings, station agent family home, doctor's office, firehouse and fascinating pieces of everyday life -- including old Maytag appliances. Every building seemed to have something interesting to discover. One of the highlights was riding the Brill train, which was such a fun experience and especially exciting for our 9 year old son, who absolutely loves trains. Another memorable part of our visit was meeting Makenzie, who was working on and cleaning the historic No. 9 4-6-0 Baldwin steam locomotive. Makenzie took the time to talk with us and shared some fascinating information about the train and its history. That personal interaction really made our visit special. It's really wonderful to meet a community of train enthusiasts. You can tell how much care, dedication, and passion goes into preserving this incredible piece of California history. It's truly a hidden gem and a wonderful place for families, history lovers, and, of course, train spotters! We highly recommend Laws Railroad Museum and can't wait to visit again!

Not to mention antique cars and wagons. Be sure to check out their 4-6-0 Baldwin steam locomotive in restoration. We learned Morris Code and sent messages on the Telegraph. You'll be pleasantly surprised and although we spent two and a half hours there, we could have stayed longer.

My partner saw an ad for this place on Instagram and we decided to make it our destination for a several day road trip. The campsite was well-equipped and well-described on their website, so I would highly recommend reading through their website before booking. It's exactly as described! The stargazing itself was very educational and flexible based on what we and other campers wanted to see. Our host was even gracious enough to get up again at 3 am to show us Saturn as he told us it would be visible the night we went. Even after the late night/early morning session, he prepared coffee for the group bright and early.

The technology and accommodations were as advertised. The clever lunar lighting of the camp was a particular highlight. It creates a transported vibe, while allowing you safely navigate the space while keeping your eyes primed for stargazing. Finally, Scott is a laid back, friendly, informative and helpful host. You're on the side of a mountain, so definitely be prepared for chilly nights. Also, as others have mentioned, it is a prerequisite that you know how to click a Google maps link and follow the directions ;) Overall, can't recommend exploring the ESO highly enough!

Their instructors are very experienced, and what impressed me the most, was their ability to work with students at all skill levels. They were very patient and built up the student's confidence level as they progressed through the training.

Excellent, professional training! I highly recommend STTARR for your CCW training. They also put on advanced firearms training which I will definitely participate in when it becomes available.
