My grandson is in town and we have already done the zoo, Wild Animal Park, Universal Studios and Disneyland three times. I want to take him up to Lone Pine Lake for some fishing on Friday. We plan to arrive at the portal around 8 or 8:30 for a pancake before heading up and then down in time for a burger.

How long and how often are the road closures happening? How is the day use parking? Any impacts from the fire at the portal - more traffic/less parking?

Short notice trip and I haven't read through all the posts. If anyone else is going to be up in the area, LMK. Would like to say hi. Haven't been around in a few years.............................................DUG
