This is a short (.6m) loop that takes you to three very photogenic arches. There is a slight elevation drop and gain- not much.

The Owens River runs along the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range. Thais portion of the Owens is East of Lone Pine. The river is scenic, it also offers fishing for trout and other species of fish. There is fairly good access via LA DWP lands on mostly dirt roads.

This place was amazing, especially for me being a big history buff. I have long been familiar with these camps, since there used to be one in my hometown, although long gone now, replaced with a housing subdivision. So I am very happy to see a camp so nicely preserved and in good hands now as a national historic site. One can really get a feeling of how it must have been for those who were forced to live there during WWII. The displays and descriptions are very well done, and so many parts of the camp still remain, even if many are just foundations. The remains of the Japanese gardens are simply amazing, especially that they have survived all this time (credit that to being buried under sand all that time). It is a very moving experience and one that everyone should learn about and experience. Not only that, but the view of the Sierra Nevada mountains is stunning.
