Kern River Valley

United States, California

Overview

Eastern Sierras, California. The most interesting place on the Planet is the best way to describe the undiscovered sites and activities along highway 178, a 95 mile stretch from Buck Owens Crystal Palace in Bakersfield to Death Valley National Park. The 178 Corridor is the only place where visitors can experience five major Bio-Regions, with all of its splendor, including five Top Birding Spots in the U.S.

Reviews

digishooter's review

The Kern Valley Nature Preserve is one of the best riparian bio-regions in the U.S.. I have a small house from which I have photographed several species of birds, just from the kitchen window. Everything from humming birds to eagles. This area is a stop over for many migratory birds. Pros

  • Accessable
  • good camping or motel sites
  • good hiking.

Cons

  • Hot and windy in summer.
