Here are a few photos from a hike up to Cottonwood Pass on Monday...
Cottonwood Pass...
If you zoom in, you can see the conditions on Langley...
Cottonwood/Trail Passes Trailhead...
I was heading to Lone Pine this morning, but the wind (seemingly NW) was blowing already, so I headed up towards Kennedy Meadows to have a look at the Sherman Pass Road...Turns out it was open, so I rode around to Kernville and Isabella for lunch...
There is a LOT of sand and (even worse) pine needles on the road right now...I was surprised at the amount of snow at the Pass...
The North Fork of the Kern is wild...lots of kayaks still sitting on top of vehicles (probably smart)...
Lake Isabella is beautiful again and is so full you can see still water just below Kernville...AMAZING SIGHT...

Sherman Pass Overlook...Olancha Peak looked dry...it's quite a ways north to the continuous snow...
