Upcoming Events in the Lone Pine Area
The Community of Lone Pine puts on a number of events throughout the year. These events are an important way for a small desert tourism based community such as ours to bring dollars into our economy and to raise money for local services and causes.
The Community of Lone Pine is known for its get-it-done, make-it-happen attitude. Voluntarism runs high because we know that we all depend on each other in this hard land.
