Roller Coaster Hwy — photo spot in 6344 Pole Line Rd, Lee Vining, CA 93541, USA
Roller Coaster Hwy
A sinuous stretch of US‑395 north of Lee Vining where the highway undulates across open sage slopes with the Sierra Nevada rising behind — ideal for leading‑line compositions, minimalistic road scenes, and seasonal contrasts (summer wildflowers, winter snow). Easily reached from town with roadside pullouts and no fees; best at sunrise or sunset for warm side lighting and long shadows. Weekdays and early morning reduce traffic; dress for alpine winds.
