expanded Inyo Wilderness entry info

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

expanded Inyo Wilderness entry info

Post by SSSdave »

With 2 recreation dot gov Inyo NF JM Wilderness backpacks upcoming next week, I was pleased to receive emails that included thorough information about trip preparation including printing out permits, leader responsibilities, text of policies, contacts, help links, and a 6+ minute Leave No Trace policy video. One apparently is now required to also go to the California Campfire annual permit page to watch that test video for a permit to print out despite having a wilderness permit even if just using a bp stove. All good advances.

This person is still seeing significant numbers of camp sites too close to lakes and recently used and or built fire rings above policy elevation limits reflecting a generally sad, selfish "doesn't apply to me" attitude of many visitors.
