Access Issue: Certain Peaks: Access limited from May to October every year
Details
Some of the peaks in this area are restricted (not all). See the Inyo National Forest's Mount Whitney Zone regulations webpage fs.usda.gov/detail/inyo/pas… for current information. Access is usually limited from May to October of every year from the highest elevations of most of the Lone Pine Creek watershed.
Description
A very scenic hike from New Army Pass over flat boulders to a final Class 2 section near the summit. Stay just west of the ridge for the duration, but one can occasionally step to the crest for the view down.
Some expansive views of the Great Western Divide and the Kaweah Peaks Ridge.
Either descend the way you came, or you can descend steep scree on the north east face to hit the New Army Pass trail before it makes the big switchbacks.
