I was looking for a chance to do one more 14er before my June 26 Backpacking trip. I called 760-873-2500 (White Mountain Ranger District) and got a long-winded recording that ended with an invitation to press 0 to talk to a real person. Pressing 0 just repeats the long-winded recording. Forever.
The Inyo National Forest website also lists 760 873-2483 for trail conditions. I called it and got through on the first ring. I asked my questions and, as I expected, they didn’t have much information on access to Langley, Split, or White Mountain Peak. But I did talk to a real person and get some answers.
