Tour Plan and Info- LONE PINE
TRAVEL INFO:
Once you arrive in Lone Pine, you will turn onto Whitney Portal Rd at the only stoplight in town.
Continue on this Rd for about 3 miles until you come to Horseshoe Meadow Rd.
Take a left and drive about 1 mile to the turn off at Tuttle Creek Campground on your right.
There will be signs to direct you to the group campsite.
TOWN AMMENITIES:
Lone Pine has a grocery store on Main St. You can get all the basics, but very few specialty items.
Several restaurants are available...including, my favorite, the taco truck! You can grab food from here and bring it up to the campground if you don't want to cook. Located by the Mobile Gas Station on Main St.
Showers are available at the Whitney Portal Hostel on Main St. for $7
Big Willi’s Mountaineering and Elevation are the two climbing/hiking stores located off Main St. with a lot of great finds if you forget anything, or just want to do some shopping:)
CAMP LIFE:
We will be in the group campsite with plenty of room for you to pitch a tent, or sleep in your car...
There are several Picnic tables and fire rings there. I will be providing wood for a fire each night, and a few stoves/pots, aluminum foil, pans, etc., for anyone to use. I would suggest bringing a cooler to keep your food items and at least a cup, bowl, spoon.
There are pit toilets and potable water at the campground.
WHAT TO BRING:
Camping gear- sleeping bag, pad, tent, camp chair
Clothing- Sept. can be very hot...or cool, depending on the weather at the time. Bring clothing for either instance...sun protectant clothing for being in the sun and warm clothes and rain jacket just in case.
