Piute Pass Trail begins through a forest of lodgepole pine and aspens as it meanders alongside a creek. It passes several high alpine lakes glacially formed and encased in granite rock; this section of the trail is mostly exposed. At 7.8 miles the trail descends into an evergreen forest and ends at Hutchinson Meadow. There may be fallen or leaning trees on or near the trail due to high winds in December of 2011. This is intended to be an overnight trip; check with Inyo National Forest for required information.
