Experience the ultimate road trip contrast as we journey from the lowest area in North America to the towering peaks of the High Sierra.
In this scenic drive, we leave the salt flats and heat of Death Valley National Park behind, climbing through the rugged desert landscapes of the Mojave and into the breathtaking alpine beauty of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Watch the scenery transform from the surreal expanse of Death Valley to the jagged, snow-capped skyline of the Eastern Sierra. We’ll wind through iconic locations like Lone Pine and Bishop, with the massive silhouette of Mount Whitney guiding our way.
Whether you're planning your next California road trip or just need a moment of peace, sit back, relax, and enjoy the pure sights and sounds of the open road.
This drive was filmed in March.
