Easy Hike to and around Inyo Craters

Details

This is an easy hike up to the Inyo Craters through the felled fir and lodgepole up to the craters. Round trip from the parking lot to the craters is about 1.4 miles, and we can get in a little more mileage by hiking around the craters. This is just a short, easy, after-work hike. All are welcome and we'll stay together as a group.

Since this is a Sierra Club hike, we ask that you sign our liability waiver/participate agreement and medical form. You can review these before the hike using the following links or come early to review the forms.

Participant Agreement (Read now, sign in at the event)
Medical Form (Print and fill out, bring to the event, or fill out at event)

The parking lot for the Inyo Craters includes a vault toilet and interpretive sign. It's an improved dirt road about 1 mile in from the scenic road. Bring your binoculars, if you're so inclined. Even though it's a short hike, be prepared with water, hiking shoes, snacks, and whatever 10 essentials you deem necessary. No dogs, pets, animals, please.
