The Lone East
The Lone East welcomes its visitors to its unobstructed views of the open ranch, the vast wonder of the Inyo's and the mountainous Eastern Sierras. As cattle graze and their young play in the distance we are transported into the wonder of the High desert and its pristine wilderness backdrop. Early morning sunrises from the East, and the magical twilight evenings from the West take you on a unique journey that only something greater could have imagined. It is here. And it is here for us to enjoy.
