“Some people call it Beasore, some people call it “Bayshore”. Whatever it is, drive up that road and just keep driving.” This was how I found out about the Sierra Vista Scenic Byway, in a conversation with a local hiker and now friend Alison Card. It was early July 2020, and over the next few weeks I did just that. I drove up Beasore and kept driving. I went there morning, evening, and night.
I explored pristine waterfalls near Mammoth Pool.
I discovered lush meadows.
I saw the Milky Way rise over pitch-black skies.
