I think this is a good one but not open yet. Check it out later in the year...like maybe early summer.

Drive to Bishop and take Silver Canyon Road to White Mountain Road.
Take a left onto White Mountain Road and follow that until you come to the gate. Stop at Ancient Bristle Cone Pine Forest along the way.
From the gate hike up the road past Barcroft Research Station and continue on to White Mountain Peak. The views along the way are pretty good.

The trial head at the gate is at like 11,600 or 11,700, Barcroft is at 12,400something and White Mountain Peak is at 14,252. Total round trip from the gate is like 15 miles with about 3400 feet of elevation gain. It's the easiest CA 14er and you can mountain bike it and it's also dog friendly.

They open the road to Barcroft 2 weekends a year so you can knock off a couple miles and some elevation by going those weekends.

You can also do this hike from the Owens Valley that gets you 8100 feet of elevation gain.

Definitely on the to do list, thanks for the write up. Nice to know it's dog friendly as well.

For the sake of a chat iv been doing a bunch of spot hunting via google earth and other apps. I grew up in the Clovis/Sanger area for a long time and we would shoot up to the Mono Hot Springs area a lot. last week my wife and i went on a little road trip and hit Yosemite,Shaver Lake over to SLO then Pismo for some chowder at Splash THEN over to Morrow Bay to get on the 1 and shoot up home enjoying stops on the way. Long story short, being up at shaver got me thinking that i should head up and explore the area again. Doris Lake has my interest.
