Coverage details

Covers the District 9 Inyo SR-168 trunk from US-395 to the western state terminus — some nearby roads aren't monitored. See what's included.

MountainSwitch covers only the state-maintained SR-168 trunk from US-395 in Bishop to the western state terminus for Lake Sabrina, North Lake, and South Lake access intent. Lake Sabrina Road, North Lake Road, South Lake Road, and every campground, parking, trailhead, and trail road beyond the state highway are outside the Bishop Creek verdict; no local-road condition is implied.

The Bishop Creek map draws only the state-maintained SR-168 trunk. The South Lake Road marker at R3.278 is disclosure-only, not a second path; none of the three local terminal roads is drawn or assigned status.

Conditions can change quickly in the mountains. This page never replaces chain requirements, closures, or official Caltrans guidance. The disconnected Fresno and Inyo SR-168 segments do not form a through route, and no local terminal road is covered; this page makes no through-route, local-road, safe-to-drive, or all-clear claim.
