Bridgeport, CA in the High Sierras

Bridgeport doesn't technically qualify as a city but it does happen to be the county seat for Mono County. If you love four seasons weather and mountain living  you may find Bridgeport a great place to cozy up to. Uncrowded with less than 1,000 residents, Bridgeport attracts adventure-seekers, especially during the winter (November through March) when snow arrives in the Sierras.

There are more than 500 miles of accessible cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, dogsledding, snowmobiling and multi-use trails around Bridgeport where you can also hike, bike and access lakes with fishing, water sports and hunting. In the winter, hone your skills at the free Bridgeport outdoor ice rink.

One of the great testaments to the seasons in Bridgeport is the beautiful fall foliage, affording leaf peeping opportunities for tourists on road trips.

Bridgeport has a bridge! The historic Bridgeport Covered Bridge is a scenic icon featuring the longest clear single span of any surviving wooden covered bridge in the world.
