Owens Gorge Access

Owens Gorge Road Access provides vehicle access to the Owens River Gorge area via a paved road from Highway 395 near Sunny Slopes that becomes unpaved after Long Valley Dam.

The road serves as a gateway to backcountry exploration and river access, offering views of the White Mountains and Eastern Sierras, though it requires high-clearance or four-wheel-drive vehicles, especially during winter months or after snow melt when conditions can be treacherous.
