Вставка

- On this trip we went to checkout Coyote Flats southwest of Bishop Cali, The trail and the surrounding area is amazing and well worth the trip just need a 4x4 for sure especially if you wanna get to the Alpine Lakes. Hope you enjoy.
Everyone should remember that you are supposed to camp at least 100' away from a lake or stream. Keep it beautiful. Leave it better than the way you found it.
Great job in filming this! We liked it so much we’re on our way there.
Crazydriver74 Suy thanks so much and hope you enjoy. Well worth the drive.
The best places are hard to get to. What a beautiful location.
thanks for this. heading up there this weekend
Enjoy and be safe
Last Minute Travels just got back...def wasn’t expecting it to be that rocky lol
@@artiebutleriii1058 oh yes depending on what way you take it can make the trip take forever. But its well worth it because of all the amazing views. Glad you enjoyed the trip
Looks amazing
Tyler Fuchs it is. Video and pictures don’t give it justice. By far one of my favorite places to go.
Hey I saw you all up there I was the one with my daughter in the MGM T4R. This is my backyard living here is great being able to come up to the Coyotes whenever we want, love it here. Hope you all had a fun and relaxing time here?
Nice did you drive the white one? But yeah the place was amazing. Will most Def be going back up to do some more exploring and camping.
Awesome!
What were the dates of this trip? Trying to get an idea of when the roads tend to be passable after winter.
From Bishop!!! Never camped there going tomorrow and was wondering about the mosquitoes but sounds like you didn’t see any. August could be a different game.
I have been up in Inyo mountain range east of there during summer several times and never had any mosquito problems. plus being at 10000ft still feel like you will be ok there and plus the temps drop alot at night. bring some off to be safe but I would say you should be ok. Man I would love to live in Bishop place is so nice and love small towns like that.
Just got back this morning. Went to coyote lake instead. Got a late start. You should move up here. There’s a million trails.
Man I would love to. Houses are kinda pricey but dam it would be well worth it.
Went to funnel lake earlier this year, spotted that Crosstrek in your video, wonder if he was able to make it to Funnel Lake?!?
Haha nope got stuck about 2 miles before the lake and they parked it. Also another one was up there and had a blowout. Crazy trying to take something like that up there but A for effort
no bullshit I just went this weekend and there was a crosstrek parked up the hill in the beginning, surprised how far up they were parked
How long did it take to get there from the base... also, is it really that hard to drive? I’ve heard mixed thoughts
took me about 1 1/2 hours to get to the lake, the drive really isn't that bad as long as you have some experience off road and a decent 4wd vehicle, its more of an annoying trail due to all the rocks
How long would you say the drive to Funnel Lake is from the trail start point? And how were the mosquitoes when you went last month?
THE DRIVE IS 16 MILES FROM THE START AND A LITTLE OVER AN HOUR TO GET UP THERE DEPENDING ON SPEEDS AND CONDITIONS, AS FOR MOSQUITOES I DIDN'T SEE ONE JUST SOME SPIDERS ON THE GROUND WAS IT
How long is this dirt road before the sites ?
It’s about 12 miles
Was that a Rav4 I saw near the end of the video?
Haha no it was a Subaru wagon of some kind. And it didn’t make it all the way up. That’s what the people told me once they got to the lakes
@@lastminutetravels3034 Gotcha. I saw that, and was wondering if my friend's Rav4 could make it. After watching your video, I'm gonna say no. lol
Does this road into the lakes area require any advanced 4wd skill or equipment? Can you rate the different areas, especially where you wouldn't recommend beginners to go?
the complete first part is easy going with some switch backs and some small obstacles. Rate it a 3 out of 10 once you start heading into the lakes about the last mile is really rocky and as long as you can navigate rocks and know where they are in relation to your vehicle and have the proper ground clearance you will be ok, rate that a 5 out of 10. but advanced 4wd skills not really needed getting to the lakes but there are trails up there that are difficult but not to the lakes, you will need a 4wd with good tires due to all the rocks and have some ground clearance.
@@lastminutetravels3034 Stock Jeep Sahara which means no lockers be alright to make to the lakes?
@@jakemartinez3109 you should be ok just take it slow. You don’t need lockers on that trail.
Alright cool thank you!
@@lastminutetravels3034 how about a 4x4 sprinter. skid plates, tires, falcon shocks.. good driver
Hey brother I’m ordering my JL in March I go up in June would you mind sharing where this is, would love to camp there for a night
One way to find it just type in funnel lake on google earth and go to satellite images and you can follow and map out the trail back down to bishop California. That’s badass you will love the Jeep and will do well you their. Latitude 37.2000 longitude -118.5139
Would a prerunner with a locker and some clearance be able to make?
Im sure you could but you would have to beat the shit out of it due to the momentum you would need to get over some of the obstacles going up to the lake. 4x4 is almost a must getting up to the lake due to the boulders mud and some climbs. But if you try and you do make it let me know that would be pretty cool
Last Minute Travels thanks for the reply
Any fishing up there?
I’m sure there are but when I was looking in the waters I did t see any.
Would you happen to to have the coordinates to the lake ?
Coordinates: 37.1995834°N, -118.5116788°W. Approximately
is this current conditions?
this is from about 2 weeks ago so i assume its still the same
@@lastminutetravels3034 i'm heading up in around 2 weeks. Should I bring a snowboard, or is it just not worth it? Looks like theres barley snow in the video
by now im sure most the snow has melted and wouldn't be worth it. If you wanted snow or whats left you would probably have to hike to the top of one of those peaks.
Were u in 4lo going up the steep long hill?
YEAH PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE TIME UP THERE I WAS IN 4 LOW MINUS THE ACTUAL FLATS AREA UP THERE I WAS IN 4 HI
Is the water safe to take a dip in? Haha
Pretty sure it should be since its snow melt same as in lake Tahoe, will just be really dam cold. I walked around in it up to my wast
Mosquito problems?
forrestgumball none what so ever. Just saw some Spiders on the ground and that’s it.
Arctic lake 💀
