Hikin’ with FOI

For the sixth year in a row, Friends of the Inyo will lead a 7-mile round trip hike or snowshoe up Chocolate Mountain in the Piper Mountains Wilderness. Conditions will determine footwear (as well as difficulty) for this hike, mostly on an old closed road, with 1,500′ elevation gain and loss up. Chocolate Mountain is a true island in a sea of desert, looking out over Deep Springs, Eureka and Fish Lake Valleys. Meet 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 12, at the Big Pine Campground at the junction of Hwy 168 and U.S. 395. Bring food and drink for the day, clothing for warm or cold, a pack to carry it all, and footwear appropriate to the conditions. If snowshoes are required, please bring your own, also FOI has a few pair to loan with advance reservation. If it is snowy, this will be a strenuous walk, but as it’s an out-and-back, we can turn around anytime. For further information, email todd@friendsoftheinyo.org or call 760.873.6500. –FOI
