For anyone looking to do this track, it closes in the winter till the snow melts

Ok, i've given it some thought and rough planned out my ideal trip, taking 2 days off work (Mon-Tues?): Friday night, drive up to the eastern Sierras and camp outside Bodie. Saturday morning walk around Bodie, then head south to Alabama Hills, Camp there Saturday night. Sunday, check out...

Im in (depending on what days. I'll be racing 7-8, 14-15, so those weekends are out)! Id say 3 days minimum, ive done the similar trek to Laurel Lakes (roughly 100 miles shorter) in a weekend (Friday night to Sunday night) and it was too rushed in my opinion.

Maybe on the way down, but I would NOT recommend it. There are some sections where you may run out of clearance.

Blackwood Canyon is near Ellis Peak, id recomend that one also. Genoa Peak probably has the best views of the lake.

Usal Beach. It's a bit on the far side of your range, but can be easily traversed by a car (assuming a dry track) https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/lost-coast-trail-usal-beach-shelter-cove-glass-beach-ca.5508

Id also recommend AEV, they recently came out with a lift for your model truck too. As a company they are known to do a lot of research and testing to keep the vehicles suspension geometry as close to stock as possible, meaning a comfortable ride and stable on and off road handling...

@ntgbrl Mostly nature, architecture, and art photos.

RSVP'd Yes, ill meet everyone late Friday night at the Slick Rock camp. I assume the camp location is at the end of the Google Maps route ( 38.460437, -120.005074 )

Ive got nothing else going on this weekend, so i'm in. I'll be coming from Sac, so I'll meet everyone at the camp site.

Don't do it. I got one as a gift several years back for airing up the tiny tires on my Miata race car, and the thing would overheat often when bringing the pressures from 25 to 35 psi. With the 31" tires on one of my Jeeps, it'll bring one tire from 20 to 45psi before having to stop and wait for...

How much snow was blocking the trail when you were there? Im thinking of making that trip this weekend, hoping that a few extra weeks of warm sunny weather has cleared the trail.

Rafting the river is pretty popular. When I was there last, dozens of rafts and kayaks came by and camped at the hot springs. You drop into the river at Markleeville CA and get out at Hwy 395, you can also pay someone $60 to move your car from the start to the end, I may do that at some point. I...

Ive done this route, and the route out to Hwy 89 several times in my Jeep Liberty (1" lift on 31" tires) and have seen Subarus at the hot springs in past years. The route out Leviathan Mine Road used to be an easy route, but the '16-'17 winter has really rutted up the tracks and exposed a lot of...
