Follow the Water Stop 5 of 13

STOP 5: We are looking at the Owens River in the foreground with the White Mountains in the distant.  The High Sierra is behind us out of view.  Water from Lone Pine Creek drains into Owens River just downstream from this location.  In the past, water from Lone Pine Creek (and therefore Mt. Whitney) would have drained into an Owens River that was busily filling Owens Basin to the point of overflowing and what we look at next.  But first, let's take a look at Owens River.
