Hike-in access keeps the crowds thin at this free dispersed site in Inyo National Forest, where no developed amenities exist beyond the allowance for campfires. Campers reach the area on foot, which limits who shows up. Silver Peak Dispersed — Inyo NF (FR 6S02X) sits less than half a mile east, making this corner of the White Mountains relatively dense with dispersed options for those willing to explore on foot.
Description
TRAVEL AND CAMP ON DURABLE SURFACES Stay on the trail while hiking. Camp at sites that have already been heavily impacted (but be sure it’s a legal site), or 200 feet from trails and water sources. Avoid moderately impacted sites where your visit could create more damage. • DISPOSE OF WASTE PROPERLY Carry out what you carry in; bury human waste in a hole 4-8 inches deep, away from water, trails, and campsites.
