About Big Pine

Tucked along Highway 395 in the Owens Valley, Big Pine is a quiet, friendly town framed by the Sierra Nevada and the White Mountains. Daily life moves at a relaxed pace, making it an ideal retreat for hikers, anglers, and anyone who appreciates starry night skies. Highway 168 leads straight up to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, while the town itself offers a close-knit community feel with its own local K-12 school. It is a scenic, peaceful place to put down roots in the high desert.
