Photo @materas// The Owens River flows through its namesake valley beneath the eastern Sierra Nevada mountains at sunrise in autumn. The Owens Valley drops almost 11,000' from the highest peak of the Sierra Nevada, Mt. Whitney, at 14,494', to its lowest point at 3,556'. The 200 mile drive along highway 395 has seemingly endless jaw dropping views of the eastern Sierra.
