A couple buddies and I are going up that way in a couple weeks. We are going to do the Coyote Flats run. Trail begins in Bishop and runs nearly 60 to a couple old mine sites, including one that operated during ww2, for tungsten. I guess there is also one of North Americas highest(in altitude) air strips up there that the government used for high altitude testing. The highest elevation that we will hit is about 11,000 ft. Should be fun.
