Getting There

From Big Pine, follow Highway 168 east for 13 miles to White Mountain Road. Turn left (north) and drive 10 miles to the Schulman Grove Visitor Center. For road closures and conditions, call 760/873-2500 or contact the Inyo National Forest Ranger Station (760/873-2400). Plan one hour for the drive from Big Pine.

SYLVANIA MOUNTAINS AND HIGHWAY 266

From the town of Big Pine, you can take a scenic drive east through the Sylvania Mountains along lonely Highway 266. The scenery changes from mountain passes dotted with pinyon pines to austere, blinding desert. The ghost towns of Palmetto and Lida are sprawling ruins near the highway. Both were silver-mining towns founded in the 1860s, and the old stone foundations date from this time. Palmetto had its last run in 1920 and is now completely abandoned. Lida had several booms before the post office closed for good in 1918. Today, it’s a picturesque place with cabins and other ruins. A few of the cabins are still inhabited, so please respect any private property.
