Sierra National Forest


I recently traveled to Auberry and Prather that is on the border of the Sierra National Forest in the county of Fresno. It is gorgeous there to say the least. The mountains, trees, wildlife, rocks, natural waterfalls, with even a fairly secluded Redinger lake. The town likes to be free of outsiders, but this has just allowed the small town to keep it's small town feel and the landscape to remain breathtaking. The Mono Indians have a reservation with a Mono Wind Casino. The restaurant within the casino is fabulous. They even make their own fresh potato chips. When you order a basket they are still warm from cooking. There is also a small restaurant, cafe called Java Time. They make to die for french toast that is make out of cinnamon rolls. Shaver lake is about 30-45 minutes away and there is a ski slope up there. The city of Fresno is about 45 minutes away the other direction. Yosemite National Park is about an hour and a half away. These small towns are a little hide out in the middle of nature.
