About Alta Sierra (Kern County)
Perched high in the Greenhorn Mountains above Lake Isabella, Alta Sierra is a quiet, woodsy community surrounded by the Sequoia National Forest. At around 6,000 feet of elevation, the area stays comfortably cool through the summer and sees genuine snowfall in the winter, complete with a small local ski resort for skiing and tubing. With hiking trails right out the back door and Lake Isabella just down Highway 155, it is a great fit for anyone looking for a rustic cabin retreat in the mountains.
