RVing The Eastern Sierra: Rock Creek & Little Lakes Valley

Are we ready for another high altitude hike ? After altitude sickness defeated us on our last big hike, we're back in the Eastern Sierra for a rematch. This time, the trail starts at over 10,000 feet. Join us on our RV adventure to the stunning Rock Creek Canyon, a gem of California's High Sierra. In this episode, we set up our home base at the beautiful (and challenging!) East Fork Campground and face our biggest test yet: a high-altitude hike into the breathtaking Little Lakes Valley. But the challenges don't stop there! We also discover some tiny, uninvited guests in our trailer, leading to the great mouse relocation saga of 2025. From meeting the legendary owner of the Rock Creek Pack Station to enjoying a well-earned victory meal at the resort, this trip was full of surprises, setbacks, and ultimately, success. ► In this video, you'll see: Our tips for hiking and camping at high altitude (and avoiding sickness!) An honest look at East Fork Campground and how we leveled our RV on a tough site. The story of our uninvited "stowaways" and how we humanely relocate them. Why hiking on a weekday is a game-changer for popular California trails.
