Our Story
Our story started in 2018, when we met as geology graduate students working in the same research lab at University of California, Davis, connecting immediately over a shared love of the outdoors, science, and music. Our first memories together include hiking up Mt. Lassen (now our dog’s namesake), many weekend climbing and skiing adventures, and countless late nights at jam band concerts. Since then, we’ve lived all over California and Oregon, supporting each other through exciting career changes and life's ups and downs, while always making time to explore the world around us. We are both so happy to have found a partner who’s just as excited about doing meaningful work as they are about getting outside and exploring new places. We can't wait to continue building our life together as we start this next chapter, and we're so excited to celebrate with you :) - Marge & George

Travel Note
Driving from San Francisco Bay Area
Driving time from the Bay Area to June Lake is typically 5-7 hours, depending on your starting point. Your two main routes are Highway 120 (Tioga Pass) via Yosemite National Park or Highway 108 (Sonora Pass)—both connect to Highway 395 South, which takes you straight to June Lake. Note: Conditions are usually clear in early October, but always check for road closures/updates when driving over any of the Sierra passes.
Travel Note
Driving from Southern California
Driving time from SoCal to June Lake is typically 5-7 hours, depending on your starting point. Make your way to Highway 395 North, which takes you through the Eastern Sierra and straight to June Lake.
Flight
Flying in from Out-of-State
The closest and most convenient airport is Reno-Tahoe International Airport (RNO), roughly a 2.5 hour drive to June Lake via Highway 395 South. Other airport options include Los Angeles (LAX) and Las Vegas (LAS), each a 5-6 hour drive to June Lake. Make your way to Highway 395 and head north to June Lake.
Things To Do
Yosemite National Park
One of the most iconic national parks in the world, known for its giant granite cliffs, waterfalls, and meadows. Yosemite’s eastern entrance (via Tioga Pass) is about a 45 minute drive from June Lake and makes for an unforgettable trip if you have extra time. Great stop if you're coming from the Bay Area!
Death Valley National Park
Home to the lowest point in North America (200+ ft below sea level), Death Valley is an awesome desert landscape with sand dunes, salt flats, and colorful badlands. Great stop if you’re driving from SoCal or flying into LAX or Las Vegas (LAS) on your way to June Lake.
Mount Whitney / Alabama Hills
Located right off Highway 395, the Alabama Hills offer great views of Mount Whitney, the tallest peak in the continental U.S. (14,505 ft!). Wander through its unique granite formations and natural arches for a nice scenic break if you’re driving from SoCal or flying into LAX or Las Vegas (LAS).
Mono Lake
Just 30 minutes from June Lake, Mono Lake is an ancient salt lake (one of the oldest in North America) known for its tufa tower formations. Really beautiful at sunrise or sunset! From here, you can hike a short trail to Panum Crater, a volcanic crater filled with obsidian and pumice.
Mammoth Lakes Hot Springs
Just south of June Lake, the Mammoth Lakes area is home to several natural hot springs with great mountain views. A nice add-on if you have a few hours to spare during your trip.
Mono County Tourism Website
