    Scenic Highway 395 Through California 4K | Sierra Nevada Mountains Scenic Drive | Desert Relaxation



    The ultimate U.S. Route 395 road trip scenic drive. A 140 mile incredibly beautiful scenic drive along the Sierra Nevada mountains north from Bishop in California up to Garnderville, Nevada.

    Music in this video includes a mix of synthwave, chillwave, and some other genres. Definitely a lively shake up from the usual music featured on the channel.

    Video is playing at the speed which we were driving. Looking to speed the drive up or slow it down? You can adjust the playback speed in the video settings to match your tastes.

      Great video. I'm a man that really love road trips and glad to see that there are others that take the time out to do it. You mentioned in your content that "my people" don't really enjoy these types of adventures. There are more of us out there than you think. And I'm one of them. Very happy to see that you are out, taking the time with the family to enjoy a simple road trip. Myself has been up and down US 395.

      Awesome video! I love the 395 thru Mono County! Hopefully you can post vids for the 203 thru Mammoth Lakes up to Minaret Vista and side drive up to the Lakes Basin along with the 158-June Lake Loop and the “Switzerland of California”
      Obtw, the Mammoth Scenic Loop was originally built in the early 80’s as a evacuation route when there was a uptick in volcanic related activity from the Long Valley Caldera down by the 395 and 203 interchange. Summer of 83-ish I remember seeing a sign saying evacuation route at the intersection of the Scenic Loop and the 203…was not there the next summer when I visited Mammoth Lakes

      A nice little diversion off of the US-395, would be the terminus segment of the CA-120. One-twenty, as you may be aware, shares about an 8-10 mile concurrency with the 395 going South, if you've just left Yosemite. It continues Eastwards off of the 395, for some 50-odd miles nearly to Nevada in the small hamlet and Indian Reservation of Benton, which lies on the US-6. Well, leaving the 395, you embark once again into another pretty Jeffrey Pine savanna and past some cinder cones. Then you cross some relict alkali flats for about 5 miles, cross over Sagehen Summit at about 8.2K' elevation, and, for many a mile, there's intermittent rimrock–though obviously not on the magnitude of Utah's(Laughs!!)–just to let you know that California's got a bit of rimrock, too–mesas and mittens–not as brilliantly colored and exotically formed–though worthy of note. This highway is supposed to shut down in Winters only, though the "authorities" can shut it down without warnings, explanations, any time, and indefinitely (I've even heard of hikers/wilderness travelers cited/jailed for trespass, in the general vicinity of the right-of-way.)–along with US-6 towards the South. That would maroon the 50-odd Benton citizens and the Reservation; they'd have to rely on Tonopah, Nevada (or charitable local ranchers' dirt tracks to get back sensibly South or West), hundreds of DESOLATE miles away, when Mammoth and Lee Vining are otherwise so CLOSE. The only explanations that I can think of, would be military exercises and the sacred rites of the Indians.

      Speaking of US-6, that highway goes all the way to the lighthouse of Massachusetts' Cape Cod. Why not have a "Lighthouse-to-Lighthouse" highway? Make the 120 part of the highway>then past 120's Western terminus at Mossdale on I-205/CA-99>205 becomes I-580, part of which is called the MacArthur Freeway>Oakland Eastbay>Emeryville>over the Richmond/San Rafael Bridge>San Rafael>Fairfax>along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard>Olema>Inverness>Point Reyes National Park and Seashore>and, finally, the LIGHTHOUSE of Point Reyes, overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

      Excellent videos. Really enjoy the Highway 395 and Death Valley videos. Most of my life has been spent either on 395 or in Death Valley. Thanks for making these and posting them up here. By the way, did you stop in Bishop at the Mahogany Meats store?

    35. Blake on

      Hey! I noticed Sonic Adventure music in this vid (Windy and Ripply, Speed Highway, etc). So nostalgic hearing these tunes but interestingly enough they go well with driving footage

    37. Pedro Molina on

      Im from mexico city i made that solo road trip from tijuana to mammoth lakes few years ago. I love watching always the videos when chilling. That you for sharing. It always propose to make new adventures.

    40. The Gospel Quartet Paradise on

      One thing that I have never been able to figure out is exactly where the southern origin of US 395 is. I live in Escondido, CA and about 13 miles North of me on I-15, I cross under the US 395 overpass in Fallbrook. So, apparently, this highway has had some modifications from time to time. Good presentation. I grew up at a time before turnpikes and interstates. In California I grew up a mile from Highway 99. To get from one end of the state if you were on the coast it was the 101, and inland it was the 99.
