We are heading to DV & Lone Pine from Las Vegas for 2 days in mid-April @15th/16th. We'd like to see Mt. Whitney so originally we were thinking to stay in Lone Pine. But how likely is the weather to cooperate? Will the road to Whitney Portal likely be closed due to snow? If it's open, would we be able to hike for an hour or so up the main Whitney trail or are the trails still also snow-covered?
Thanks!
