SnowDude dropped me off at the Inyo Craters trailhead, then went snowboarding. I started off on the plowed trail, but didn't like snowshoeing on something I could walk on. After a couple in snowshoers passed me, I decided to snowshoe on untracked snow. I followed my GPS and soon caught up to them. I kept going uphill, and thought they were going to follow me. I looked back and they followed the road. I got up to Inyo Craters, photographed both craters and headed for Deer Mountain since it was right there. The other couple showed up about 10 minutes later. I took my snowshoes off, and hiked up the rim on the East Inyo Crater, then continued to a ridge leading to Deer Mountain. It was the rim of another crater, which got pretty gnarly in the wind. I ended up straddling the ridge and scooting up the last section. Great views from the top! I snowshoed back a different way, which was a lot easier. From the Inyo Craters I snowshoed back following my tracks, then made new tracks to the start. Awesome day! (wk 167, day 2)
