i don't know, i had a hard time finding a place in july by mono lake, we went on all the dirt roads and there were no camping signs posted everywhere; we ended up staying in a pay-to-camp spot a couple miles back up the canyon on 120...maybe i was looking in the wrong places.

I just checked a Mono Lake webcam and saw that the Mono Basin has quite a bit of snow. It's best to stick to the pavement now and risk getting rousted by a friendly LEO than getting stuck and paying for a tow.

Here is a list of webcams in the Sierra. Great for checking currect conditions. Warning: not suitable for work, because you will waste your day looking at webcams in places you never even heard of.

I have camped at June Lake in the winter.... a place named "O-Ridge". It had tables and "wind breaks" .... if it still exists.

The "pinion pines" just north of the ORG are free $$$ and usually snow free.

Holy webcam's Greg! Thanks for posting that list.
