Good Morning and Welcome!

Good morning and welcome to Sagehen Station, a stopping point for wanderers and vagabonds to sample the flavor of a life lived alone, far removed from the bustle of contemporary West Coast madness.  Sagehen Station is located at an elevation of 8,300 feet in the Glass Mountains of the Inyo National Forest.

This is a place on the edge of things.  Sitting at the northern border of the world's largest Jeffery Pine forest, just east of North America's youngest mountain range (the Mono Craters), just south of North America's oldest lakebed (Mono Lake), and betwixt two of the mightiest mountain systems on the continent, Sagehen Station is influenced by and enjoys a taste of all of this amazing topography.

First and foremost, it is a place of stunning visual delight.  To the east stand the hulking Inyo-White Mountains, North America's highest desert mountain range.

To the west the mighty Sierra Nevada, Galen Rowell's Range of Light.

And here between, mostly unnoticed and largely unappreciated, is Sagehen Station, my home.

Having the opportunity to greet these landscapes on a daily basis is a blessing.  How and why I landed here are stories for another day.  Just know, when those days arrive, these same landscapes will still be here, sharing their beauty and peace with my soul...and few others.
