Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Independence Parking Recommendations?

Can anyone recommend a reasonably safe place to legally park a car for two nights in Independence?

Anywhere. A car got stolen once in Independence, but it had the keys in the ignition.

I recommend parking near the Still Life Cafe and having dinner there. I don't know what a real French bistro is doing in Independence but it's there and the food is great.

Have left vehicles in the main county lot, across the street from the Winnedumah - not overnight, but on long day hikes.

It's the county seat - you might call them and inquire as where's a good spot for a couple of days.
