National Forests are the ultimate "outdoor classroom," with natural processes and human activities interacting in all sorts of interesting ways. The Learning Center will soon be your one stop for everything about the Inyo. New material will be added all the time so check back often!
There are four visitor centers on the forest: the Mono Lake Scenic Area Visitor Center in Lee Vining, Mammoth Lakes Welcome Center in Mammoth Lakes, the White Mountain Ranger Station in Bishop and the Intergency Visitor Center in Lone Pine. You will find helpful employees to answer your questions, give you directions and forest information and issue permits for firewood, campfires and wilderness travel. Each Visitor Center has cultural and natural history displays, recreational opportunity guides and tourist information. The centers are open 7 days a week during the summer. Click the links at the left for a really fun Just For Kids page, information on Outdoor Safety and Ethics, resources for Parents and Teachers and interesting historical photos on the History and Culture page.
