If you only do one winter road trip, make it this one! Drive over a legendary mountain pass and drop down onto the criminally underrated Highway 395. 🏔️The second you hit the Eastern Sierra, you'll feel like you're in a movie. Everything is just bigger, crazier, and simply unreal. First stop: Mono Lake. The tufa towers look straight-up otherworldly in winter. Dusted in snow, quiet, and surreal. Take your time here and appreciate the millions of years of history that shaped this special place. N
