Just wanted to let everyone know that hiking out of Horseshoe Meadow should be pretty godd right now. I was up there yesterday and it was beautiful. There is no snow at the trailhead and the snow line is pretty high on the peaks. The snowline from Bishop south is moving up every day and the mountains are calling!!

Ok, I was wrong about Lake Mary Rd last week. But I heard on the morning news today that it will be open tomorrow Friday the 16th. I guess that they had quite a few trees that had fallen across the road and had to remove them.
