The Eastern Sierra Interagency Visitor Center is the first place to visit when planning adventures in the region. Local, state, and federal agencies operate the facility and offer vital resources like trail beta and permits. The visitor center also provides a wealth of interpretive information about the natural landscapes.
If anything, the visitor center is just a fun place to hang out. The surrounding landscape defines the high-desert allure of Lone Pine, including a great view of Mt. Whitney. Shade structures around the facility offer respite from the heat and a cool place to congregate.
The visitor center is south of town at the junction of Highway 395 and State Route 136. It’s the only place to pick up permits for the Mt. Whitney Trail in person and a place to go for any questions about the route. It’s also a valuable resource for planning a trip into the nearby Death Valley National Park.
