Thanks for the pictures and writeup.

Is labor day too late in the year to go visit?

When is deer season? I don't want to have to deal with tons of hunters.

 

[SWbySWesty]

Seems like it would be fine to visit next weekend. I have no idea about hunting season though - anybody else?
Just read up on Mt Whitney! Sounds fun for an expedition to work at

Looks like a fun trip! Props on the socks in the windpants.

I was always amazed on the drive up to Mammoth at just "how much" territory there is in that area. I never got a chance to traipse around though. Maybe one day.

Until I do, thanks for the pictures and the write up!

I was up there a month ago and everything looked great, we camped at the lower Baker Creek spot next to the meadow. I just got back 10 minutes ago from another trip with the family and the same trail into Baker Creek is now closed permanently with signage and large wood barricade. I also noticed several other new blocked trails in the same area. Anyone know whats going on? It was a bummer to drive all the way up there only to find our favorite spot closed.

 

[SWbySWesty]

WOW - really? So the road to the upper campground with the vault toilet is closed? I was planning to head up there this fall pretty soon. I'll have to call the rangers

 

[Jeff Wanamog]

Send me a PM when you find out whats going on. I was going to go up next weekend with my son.

The trail to the end of the road is still open, the campsite with the toilet. The trail that is closed is to a campsite about 3/4 mile back down the trail. The site that was closed is much nicer and remote and unspoiled. My family has been using it for over 50 years and it has really only improved as far as impact is concerned which puzzles me why they would close that section.

That sucks, no other way to put it.
Quick question: Can you get a full size up there (SMB)? It's been years since I have been there and I was only there once.

 

[kellymoe]

Full size would have no problem making it in.
BTW the fly fishing was great.
