Road #1N17 \u2013 Inyo National Forest<\/h2>\n

Highway 158 @ Grant Lake, North June Lake Loop<\/p>\n

Forest Road 1N17 is a major graded dirt road that connects June Lake Loop to the Lee Vining junction, the back way. West side of US 395; south of Hwy 120.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At north end of Grant Lake<\/a>, slow down and look for the signed intersection. Sage brush hills and big drainage, with towering granite peaks above.<\/p>\n

This well-traveled, wide dirt road leads along the base of the mountain range on BLM land, skirting the National Forest. Several side routes head up into numerous canyons, which are part of Inyo NF. Suitable for SUV, passenger cars, camper van and small RVs. Easy access off US Highway 395<\/a> and\u00a0June Lake Loop #1S63<\/a><\/p>\n

Several hike-in only lakes, creek camping, some seclusion. Great picnic areas, trail head access, short or long hikes. National Forest lands. Backpacking, day hiking and primitive camps, some deep in the aspens. Autumn here can be gorgeous, and these are all prime summer time camp sites, for free. Make sure to get your campfire permit ahead of time, at ranger station in Mammoth. Wilderness permits may also be required for overnight camping in this canyon, so check with the NFS rangers on that issue.<\/p>\n

\nInyo National Forest<\/a><\/p>\n

Certain areas back here can be muddy in springtime, other major routes can even be over whelmed with water when creeks swell. Summer thunderstorms are common. One lane bridges should always be driven with caution, especially on dirt roads. Always be extra slow when driving thru water at creek crossings.<\/p>\n
