| A major radio astronomy observatory site, with numerous large steerable dishes. Features include: the Caltech Millimeter Array, which consists of six 10-meter dishes on a configurable track; a solar interferometer antenna array, with two 27-meter dishes; and two Cosmic Microwave Background antennas. Most of the site is operated by Caltech, with the exception of the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) antenna, which is one of a network of ten antenna sites across the United States that make up the VLBA, a National Science Foundation project. |

| Drop-in visitation is not encouraged, but the site is accessible to the public. Located east of Highway 395, between Bishop and Big Pine. Take Highway 168 east, just north of Big Pine, cross the Owens River, and look for signs to the facility, which will be to the north. About six miles from Big Pine. |
