This guide is intended to assist those bicycling within the Caltrans District 9 area of California - Inyo, Mono, and eastern Kern Counties. All roadways are open to bicycling in District 9 except a short stretch of freeway near Rosamond. District 9 has beautiful scenery with its desert valleys, high mountain ranges, and numerous lakes and streams in the Sierra Nevada. We hope you enjoy your cycling in this area. We welcome any suggestions for improvement or changes in bicycle facilities in our District. One of the primary land uses in District 9 is recreation. Caution should be exercised when bicycling, due to numerous campers, recreational vehicles, and large trucks traveling on the highways. There are some challenging sections of highway with steep grades, such as the Sherwin Grade on Highway 395 north of Bishop. Try to carry the necessary and proper equipment for the type of trip you plan, since services may be far apart in some areas. Protection from the sun and adequate water is extremely important throughout the district. The State of California, the counties and cities over whose facilities you may be traveling on are not responsible for your safety. No representation is made or intended as to the safety or fitness of the routes where bicycle travel is allowed.
