So Bob, the trail to Kearsarge Pass for day hiking is open? New Army Pass? Road to Horseshoe Meadows open?
The John Muir Wilderness within Inyo National Forest is closed through December 31. That means both day-hiking and backpacking, on trail and cross-country. Kearsarge Pass and New Army Pass are in the John Muir Wilderness, so they are closed. As far as I know, roads, including the one to Horseshoe Meadow, are open.
