Playground and grassy park.
Torie B.

This made for a great place to stop with our infant and toddler. The park is nicely shaded by beautiful trees. There is a playground intended for ages 2 and up that is large enough to keep the kids entertained for a while. There are swings including one for the younger crowd who cannot yet swing by themselves. The park has a babbling brook running through it, a small pavilion, what looks to be a snack stand that can maybe open during events, bathrooms, tennis courts, and plenty of grassy area for picnics and walks. Even if you're just driving through Lone Pine on your way to the next destination, stop at this park for your rest break. I think you'll enjoy it!

Formerly this delightful little park was known as "Lone Pine Park." This is a true oasis off the US 395 Highway and has ample parking and clean restrooms for travelers, residents or dogs. Stream runs through this park and take a break under a tree as you hear water passing over rocks and relax under the cool shade provided by trees. Safe place for dogs and owners do pick up after pets here. Check out the playground and a fountain is nearby for thirsty little ones and adults. Worth the visit!

Lots of shade on a hot summer day

Crystal Cave - Second inside room

Crystal Cave

We made reservations to see the crystal cave and arrived early. They were able to move up our time…read morewhich was really nice since there's not much to do around there. Once it was time to hike down they made some general announcements and we met the guide at entrance of the cave. It was nice to have someone tell us the history of the cave and guide us through. The 20 minute hike down and up wasn't too bad and was completely doable for my 6 year old son. Overall, it was a unique experience and I'm glad we made the stop during our Sequoia trip!

Crystal Cave was closed for 4 years for renovations and reopened last season. We made reservations…read morefor this year as soon as they opened the roster. My boyfriend is very interested in exploring different caves & caverns and I thought this would be a fun weekend getaway for us. There is a long trail down to the mouth of the cave, the decent is not too bad, but it is quite a trek back up. The trail is about half a mile to the cave opening and half a mile back up. When you check in for your tour (tickets are not sold at the cave and must be purchased in advance) they go over some safety information and tour information. The staff has you cleanse the soles of your shoes prior to heading down to the cave to help prevent white nose syndrome to the bats that inhabit the cave. On the trail down there are many beautiful sights including waterfalls. I would recommend stopping at the sights on the way back up when breaks from the steep trail will be needed. The trail back up is not the most difficult we have endured, but it is up there on the list due to the steepness of the path. There is a large area at the mouth of the cave for the tour group to gather with the guide who is waiting at the gate for you. No items besides cameras and plastic water bottles are permitted within the cave and must be left outside the gate during your 50 minute cave tour. There is a large gate that the guide will unlock and you will walk through to enter the cave. The gate is a huge spiderweb with a large spider in the center, it was really wicked. Crystal Cave has crystal clear water running through it, you could see the marble that is natural there that the water has washed out over the years, as well as many stalagmites & stalactites, cave bacon, cave popcorn and many other interesting formations that have taken hundreds of thousands of years to form. Among the many caverns & caves we have toured this one was very different with the marble and flowing water within. Shirley was our tour guide, and though she was new she was so passionate and knowledgeable about the cave!

Lake Sabrina - So blue

This review is for Lake Sabrina To Blue Lake Trail which was a ~5.9 miles round trip that took ~4…read morehours to complete. This was a stunning hike from beginning to end. Trail was adjacent to Lake Sabrina for about half of the hike with various views of the lake from low to high elevations. There was excessive water at the first crossing; hiking sticks were extremely helpful for balance and getting across safely without getting shoes wet. Second water crossing was much easier with the rocks and logs. ~5% of the trail at higher elevation was still covered in snow. Trail was mostly a narrow and rocky incline towards Blue Lake. Furthermore, about half of the hikers brought their dogs. Beware of altitude sickness! Staying at the city of Bishop with an elevation of 4150ft and then driving the next morning to Lake Sabrina with an elevation of 9128ft resulted in altitude sickness for us throughout the hike. The worse symptom was shortness of breath with some minor headache and nausea. Very limited parking at the trailhead. There are more parking available further in at the boat landing area. Restroom also available at the upper parking lot of the boat landing. Short video of the hike for those interested! https://youtu.be/eMJO8pq-b6Y
