My wife and I are getting the itch to head to our favorite meadow in the Cottonwood Lakes area. Has anyone been there recently? Is the Horseshoe Meadows Road open and clear?
Thanks,
Ken

Last Friday I called the Inyo County Road Department and they said Horseshoe Meadows Road will be opened on May 20th.

Thanks Nick! Welcome to HST! Hope they open it soon, every other road in the area has been opened.

Just spoke with Inyo NF today, said they're not sure about it opening now on Friday. Vacillating because of the weather apparently. Sounds like a good chance it might, though.

I'm fairly certain the road opened yesterday. I wonder though, with this weekend's system if there will be snow falling up there.

Road did indeed open this Friday, I went up there after coming from Tioga Pass area. Hiked Muah Mountain on Saturday and hit very little snow on the trail. Nice weather, overall. Will try and post a photo looking towards Langley later.
