I'm researching this online now, but am hoping to get some information from those experienced in this area.

An idea came up with some friends to visit the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest for some photography shooting. Some of the roads/trails around the area are closed due to snow, but I'm curious if there any trails to check out that would be open to 4WDs. I'm not looking for Rubicon wheelin here, but reaching some 4WD-only-accessible spots would be nice for some places to shoot.

I'd likely be the only truck, and am capable enough to not worry too much about the possibilty of getting stuck, but at the same time I'm not looking for danger and will play it on the safer side. Maybe even some others could come along, who knows.

 

im down if im still up here for winter break or if i happen to be back at my folks house when you go. just shoot me a pm before you go.

 

Bristlecone is closed for winter. Coyote is open year around. A good web site to check out for local trails is www.gbr.4wdtrips.net

 

yep, called the ranger station on bishop today. from the end of the road it's about a 2 mile hike to bristlecone....not too bad.
thanks for the link, i'll check it out.

 

i maybe up for the trip, I ll be going up to mammoth end of the month.

 

lemme know when you guys are gonna go, its about a 3 hour drive for me but i would be up for it!!! send me a pm or ill just check up on here.

 

You can go out of Big Pine to either Saline or Eureka Valleys in the winter. Eureka is big sand dunes and Saline has hot springs.
