I have meetings in Orange County on Monday and Tuesday next week. This is super short notice as my flight is not even booked yet from the Twin Cities. I plan on arriving at John Wayne sometime Friday evening. I'd love to get up on 395 somewhere near Lone Pine or even a little farther north. Climbing/backpacking is out of the question but short hikes to glacial lakes would be cool. I am looking for killer photo ops of the Eastern Sierra and a place or two places to car camp with views and no people.
Thoughts? I have little experience in CA and certainly not in that area. Any beta would be really appreciated!
