Road is open, campgrounds are closed. No where to get permit. If you still
decide to go leave an itinerary back home.
Use one of these: http://highsierratopix.com/community/vi ... =1&t=10010" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Have a safer backcountry experience by using the HST ReConn Form 2.0, named after Larry Conn, a HST member: http://reconn.org
