Parking and Chains
The roads can be icy. Please carry tire chains. California Highway Patrol does enforce chain control on the mountain. When stopping to put chains on, make sure you are parked in a safe area off the main road. Make sure the parking spot is on solid ground. Snow can hide ditches and drop-offs. Do not park at any location where signs are posted prohibiting parking. Parking is permitted only on the downhill side of the Mt. Pinos Highway. Do not park where snow has narrowed the highway and the lanes will be blocked.

Mountain Safety

Be prepared for inclement weather any time of year in the mountains! Wearing several layers of clothing will allow you to easily adjust as the weather and your body heat changes. Take extra socks, gloves or mittens, and a warm cap. Take an emergency kit in addition to your regular gear. This kit should contain the following: matches in a waterproof container, candle, fire starter, 50ft of nylon rope, general purpose knife, high energy food, plastic tarp, space blanket, signal mirror, compass, map, first aid kit, wide tape for repairs, metal container for melting snow, folding-handle saw, and a survival manual.
