Regarding VVR, according to their recent Facebook posts VVR management was able to get in there with what looks like mini sno cats. That would imply there is no major damage to the access road.

FRom VVR. you have to account for the San Joaquin bridge as well, which for a number of reasons may be the more serious challenge

I had a plan to hike from VVR to Whitney Portal in early July this year (as a continuation from starting at Yosemite Valley and ending at VVR last year). I'm now wondering if it might be possible in

Randy, You might contact Reds Meadow Resort to ask what they know: info@.... Let us know if you learn anything new. Charlie

If the road is a concern, consider getting a permit out of rush creek (silver lake). Climb to Thousand Island Lake and continue on the JMT.

Just tried to reserve shuttle tkts from Mammoth Mtn Inn down to Devils Postpile/Red's Mdw for mid August. No go at the moment. Right now the road is being worked on so they're playing it by ear. I can

I'm working on getting a definitive answer from Inyo. The people at the ranger station have no idea. I left a message with a bigger shot at Inyo. I'll report back when and if I get a response. I

All I read, just like Lange is stating, that this detour only valid for PCT permit, since their permits are for 500mi and not for JMT. We wish and hope it was otherwise , but that remains to be

That's true, it does insinuate that this is also possible on a regular permit, but as you say it would be nice to see this verified by Inyo.

Lange, I think the second sentence, "Exiting the wilderness for anything *other than accomplishing this detour *(such as travel into the town of Bishop) terminates your permit and a new permit would

Interesting news Frank. Important to note that the advice in that link is specific to holders of PCT long-distance permits. The advice in relation to "local permits" says: "Wilderness permits other

Does Parchers resort near South Lake handle resupply boxes? If yes, this would allow a resupply without a trip to Bishop. Of course this detour still allows for an MTR resupply.

The PCTA has updated their San Joaquin river bridge closure page with bypass information. The write up sounds like they coordinated with Inyo NF, but they don't specify this. Most of the information
