About Inyokern

Sitting in the Indian Wells Valley just eight miles west of Ridgecrest, Inyokern offers quiet high-desert living right at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. Named for its location along the Inyo and Kern county line, the town attracts people looking for extra breathing room, dramatic mountain views, and dark, starry skies. Many residents commute to the nearby China Lake naval base or head into Ridgecrest for shopping, making it a great fit for anyone wanting a relaxed, rural pace close to town.
