Thanks, DVD! Hopefully over the next 3 weeks, South Pass will be clear of snow. At only a little over 6000 ft, I would think it would be clear by then, unless more snow falls closer to the date. But if I have to, I will take the regular Racetrack Valley Rd (I think it's open now). I wasn't planning to visit the Racetrack this year, but I have seen on satellite images that it has been flooded multiple times this winter, so hoping there has been some nice rock movement, and also that it will be fully dried by then.
I seriously doubt Titus Canyon will be opened by then. All reports I've heard are that it's shut down "indefinitely". But if it is, that will be a nice bonus of time saved and only having to do the 1.5 mile hike to the Thimble summit.
I have faint pics of San Gorgonio from Telescope, and even from Whitney, 190 miles away. I'm looking forward to the drive into the Panamint Valley from the south, which I have never done before, and seeing Telescope from that end.
