Red Rock Canyon State Park is a nice place to stop along Highway 14 if you're headed up to the Easter Sierra. There are a few hiking trails here that meander through the dramatic Red Cliffs. If you're into geology, this is a place you'll want to see! I wish we could have explored the area more, but it was over 100 degrees. It was a scenic place to stop, get out of the car and stretch our legs before heading up the 395. (There vault toilets here as well.)
