Cottonwood Lakes Trailhead

This area is definately geared towards Sierra backpackers & equestrian trips. The parking lots are pretty roomy, plus there is a one night stay limit on the campgrounds.

New Army Pass & the Golden Trout Wilderness are both accessed from these high Sierra trail heads.


Meadows up here are large & lined with pines. They can range from lush wildflowers to golden dry.

Huge area for Horses !

These campgrounds up here are large with walk in access only. A common parking area is shared, along with the community firerings & bear boxes. Wide open areas with tons of room for star gazing. The camp areas are not considered secluded. They are mainly designed for overnighters preparing for their backpacking ventures into the nearby Sierra wilderness.

From Lone Pine take Whitney Portal Rd. up to Horseshow Meadow Rd & turn left. Follow this long & steep cliffs paved road due south hugging the mountain's edge. This steep winding entrance will take you to some spectacular views over the dry desert Owens Lake & Lone Pine. Then turns sharply west headed straight into the pine filled Southern Sierras. This region is so high in elevation that you can actually see 'tree line'. At 10,000' tis is prime backpackers country. Some exposed granite mountain peaks loom above the tall ponderosa pines.
