On December 21, 1985 I took a 10 mile ski tour up the road to North Lake in the John Muir Wilderness area. In winter you can drive to Aspendell on the South Lake/North Lake road. In winter there is usually a locked gate just past Aspendell. In the spring when Inyo County starts clearing snow from the road the gate may be open. I'm guessing that I drove to the gate and parked out of the way. I didn't keep a hiking diary log so don't have a narrative of the details of this trip.
