Mt Whitney Zone Forums Thread Like Summary - Horseshoe Meadows Road

Is The horseshoe Meadows Road open ?

I was up there this weekend. The gate is still closed just before the campground. What I do find odd is the campground is being maintained. Trash is being emptied. Bathrooms are open and fully stocked. Everything is clean....they can open the gate at any moment and the campground will be ready to go. I did read somewhere that local politics is causing the delay in opening HSM.

It's closed at the same spot it was prior to the earthquake. They had closed the whole thing immediately after the earthquake. I think they are just defining it better/differently post earthquake.

Horseshoe Meadows Road and the Cottonwood Lakes Campground will be fully open tomorrow (July 1):
