Does anyone have information on the trail conditions for Shepherds pass.

May 17, 2014 at 5:58 am #2103268The trail was damaged by storms in July 2013

May 17, 2014 at 12:10 pm #2103372I went up that trail on labor day weekend 2013, to climb Mt. Williamson. There were a couple large sections of trail well below the pass (I think within 1-2 hours from the trailhead) that had been BADLY washed out, but it was passable even in the dark with a bit of routefinding. I doubt it has been repaired since then but it may be a bit more obvious as it has likely had some additional use since then.

That agrees with the earlier reports.
It would be interesting to hear if Inyo N.F. has any repair plans before this year's backpacking season gets going much.
