Kaiser Pass opened today, thus allowing access to Florence and Edison Lake – popular fishing destinations on the Sierra National Forest.
Visitors should exercise caution while traveling the pass – it may be icy in the morning and evening.
"Forest roads and weather conditions can change within minutes of an approaching weather front and unprepared visitors can be in danger if unprepared," said Armentrout. "It's worth the time and energy to pack appropriate clothing, food, water and blankets and be prepared for an unexpected emergency. Remember to tell someone where you’re going and your expected return."
Campgrounds are available, but without concessionaire services. Jackass and the Island at Mono Hot Springs remain closed.
For information on roads, camping and backpacking call the High Sierra Ranger District Visitor Information Services located in Prather at (559) 855-5360 or the Clovis office at (559) 497-0706. Visitors can also find safety and recreation information on the Sierra National Forest Web site: http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/sierra/. The California Department of Fish and Game Web site contains all pertinent fishing information: http://www.dfg.ca.gov/.
