==Geography==
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP covers an area of 4.5 square miles (11.6 km²), all of it land. At the high, northwestern end is the old Sky Meadows Ranch, then houses and firehouse near the meadow, and at the southeast end a development known as Pinyon Ranch.
In addition to the predominant pinyon-juniper-sagebrush habitat, there are permanent and seasonal streams and the eponymous meadow with wetter-habitat vegetation such as Jeffrey pines, willows, stream and bog orchids, and the remnant trees of the old commercial apple orchard. In 2011 the (Eastern Sierra Land Trust ) secured a conservation easement to protect 104 acres of the Swall Meadows meadow area (location of the historic homesite), for the continued benefit of the migrating mule deer. A number of other conservation easements have been completed in Swall Meadows since the ESLT organization was founded in 2001.
Between Paradise and Swall Meadows the old wagon road can be seen (image, left) that climbed about up the Sherwin Grade from Owens Valley toward Crowley Lake.
