This one is from before the storm cleared. I was fearful for conditions up high since I arrived at the trailhead on Friday 5/10 and it poured rain from 3p-10p. Saturday brought cool, crisp air to hike up and there was even a lingering snow shower

Thanks, Sierra Angler. The middle chute on AP had great snow, but I would hate to think of anyone charging up (or down) it without proper gear and know-how.

People who have been up this month have been using them. I don't think the worst spots will be clear by that time. The worst places are the top of the switchbacks -- that one last long section that heads over to Trail Crest, and at the cables. Whe

You're correct, George. Once a police (local PD, Sheriff, CHP) incident report has been done, most of the information contained therein is public, with certain exceptions, such as names of minor persons. The California law also applies to incidents w

You don't need a permit to hike as far as Lone Pine Lake. Beyond that, the permit is required and the entry date matters. I suppose a ranger could see you were backpacking in on the lower trail and ask to see the permit. But you can likely get a n

We have a reservation for overnight permit for August. However we may have a straggler and not get out until the wee hours the next day. How stricted are the rangers on entry? I know the officially you're supposed to enter the day of the permit. A

Somehow we managed to never see anyone up on the passes themselves, but it was great to catch up at the Portal! Shootin' the breeze (and the ginormous mozzies!!) on Saturday afternoon was really special. Bob Huey and I had planned originally to cros

I think once their name is part of a public report, it's fair game. The exception is a juvenile. However, their injuries shouldn't be reported as part of any official release without their permission (I think). It's a good question, though, about wh
