In the 1950's and '60s my uncle (a marathon runner) would run up to the top of Whitney and back. (He at least once ran the entire John Muir trail.)
One October I brought some people from the UK to the Owens Valley. It was night when we drove from LA to Lone Pine. Overnight there was heavy snow, but the dawn was sunny and clear - and my friends until that moment ha no idea that there were mountains nearby. It was an impressive surprise for them to see the eastern Sierra scarp covered with fresh snow.
By-the-way, the Guardian has been running a series of articles about the latest ravages by Los Angeles' Dept of Water and Power on the people in the Owens Valley.
