We'll be heading to Lone Pine on July 27 and our permits are for July 29. From the recent posts, it sounds like the switchbacks are usable, which is great!
Are there any smoke-related issues (visibility/breathing) currently due to the Detwiler fire? Recent webcam pictures look rather hazy/yellow.
We thought the visibility on July 20th was amazing! We did not experience any issues with smoke during our hike. I don't know if smoke has become an issue since that day though.
