I heard from Sonya and Dan that they hiked up from the Lone Pine Creek campground at the 1800M (below 6000') elevation, and hiked up the National Recreation Trail to Whitney Portal.
Doug from Whitney Portal Store and Whitney Portal Hostel reported today:
Quote:
The Road closed sign is up, gate is not closed. Road is very icy starting at the Main entrance to the campground, this area above will not clear till the sun starts hitting this area in a moth or so.
As all years going past the road closed sign is at your own risk and if you get stuck your insurance will not cover the tow, and may be subject to tickets at any time parking above the sign.
