Sierra Nevada Mountain driving on California Scenic Highway 88 (Carson Pass). We head east through the Sierra Nevada Mountains and through Eldorado National Forest, passing multiple lakes and stunning mountain vistas along the way.
This drive was filmed in mid-May.

Looks more like a post apocalyptic landscape with all the dead trees. Gotta love what humanity is doing to the environment.
Awesome views! May and still plenty of snow and blue sky. Great combination Thanks for the ride😀🤙
Another beautiful video. Thanks for sharing.
Amazingly beautiful 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Beautiful drive! Curious if you mount your camera on the outside. I see no glare from glass.
Shocked to see snow in May. East and west truly are different.
@adventureeveryday What type of camera setup are you using…is it static mount or gimbal?
Do not you need someone to travel with you 😄? As a matter of fact, I do when I am getting breasfast o dinner, nothing better that quite place and nice Views.
Paisagens lindas e maravilhosas !! Parabéns por mais esse vídeo maravilhoso e fantástico 👏👏👏👏👏 bom final de semana pra vocês
Out west you can see snow in June in some places.
Your videos are soooo soothing,a feast for the eye,and the hum of car without music or commentary are top notch.😊
Japan is midsummer and very hot. The scenic video with the remaining snow is refreshing and comfortable.
Oh yes one of my "roads less traveled". I only have ever been that way twice: once as a child with my parents, and once with my husband when I was introducing him to the wonders of backcountry Sierra.
Great drive and video. Love the Sierra’s and their backcountry.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم. سبحن الله والحمد لله ولا اله الا الله والله اكبر. Very much. Very good
Beautiful. Brings back wonderful memories. Thank u. 😊😊😊😊
Adventure ⭐ Every ❤ Day 💫
Nice video channel!!
Самая красивая природа в сша🥰
16:14— why are the trees so dry in this place? 😮 is this the result of a fire?
Beautiful drive!
Been there done it seen it.🤓
AED, you will notice that as your vehicle pulls even with Iron Mountain/Mormon Emigrant Road, you're on a short stretch of ridgeline that gives a glimpse of the staggering devastation caused by the colossal Caldor Fire. There were MANY areas where the conflagration was COMPLETE–no standing snags; lots of wind-throw; and, some wind-throw in circular patterns, suggesting fire tornadoes. There were profuse spot-fires in your run-up to Silver Lake, though not much signs of a main fire-front, yet. That was in your run-up to Carson Spur, where the front did indeed cross the highway, and, through the Spur, the fire did also come right to the highway's verge. Kirkwood is one of my fave ski spots, and I'm glad to see that the front, nor its spots, did any damage there, even if the fire may have been less than a half mile away from that turnoff. Going past Caples, you can see how the fire possibly burned RIGHT UP to timberline, which SELDOM happens with any fire of consequence. In Hope Valley, there were many, many small spots that were successfully extinguished, thanks to fire crews staging a far-advance stand. Those LIVE wind propelled embers that caused those, had to have flown ten or so miles, before they ignited the ground in Hope! Indeed, through the U.S.-50's traverse over Echo Pass, this constituted an extremely RARE breach of the Sierran Crest, by a wildfire, as the hurricane-force blowtorch shot embers across the 89, to the East side of Christmas Valley, well below and away from the Pass, on that highway's run-up to Luther Pass. And quite of those spots fairly exploded, making a run towards Nevada. For much of this fire's history, the 50 was closed between Placerville and Carson City. The Same for both California's & Nevada's 88's, between Jackson and Gardnerville. 395 closed between Walker and Minden. Finally, the 89, from its Southern Terminus, at the 395 (Monitor Pass), to Tahoe City, leaving the small town of Markleeville "marooned", just one stage below Immediate Mandatory Evac Orders. The status was the much the same, for Tahoe West shore Burgs. And the Big Lake wore a sickening scum of ashes on its surface, for about 2 weeks.
