True on the avalanche warning.
> Does that mean that you can legally hike to Lone Pine Lake and Lower Boy Scout Lake starting from today even if the gate on Whitney Portal Road is closed?
I believe it does. Every Inyo announcement I've seen always says the trails are open. That means you can day hike anywhere a permit is not required, which includes LP and LBS lakes.
I would also like to know about the gate. Maybe we can make a phone call on Monday.
Great news that Horseshoe Meadow road is open. Last I saw was something like it would be closed until mid-June.
