Road into Monache Meadow?

[bossman]

My father and I are headed up to the Kennedy Meadows/ Monache Meadow area in a few weeks. This is our first trip to this area, we are in the Sierras somewhere every year but have not made it here yet. My question is the road into Monache Meadow is a 4x4 road. Would a stock 2007 Ford F250 4X4 make it in no problem or is there clearance issues regarding both the ground clearance and the width of the truck? Thanks in advance.

I went up there for fathers day in a stock f 150 4x4. our biggest issue was width because we had a pop top camper. the running boards weren't to happy about it either. we scraped a few times, but not on the big gnarly rocks, on the little ones we didn't think were a problem. I saw an F250 up there. I guess clearance would depend on the wheel base. If it's not a super long bed crew cab, i think you'll be fine.

oh, by the way, the fishing was fun, and we got to see a classic old west style cattle drive over olancha pass. the fish are spookier in the meadow without the cover. if you go to the forest on the upper and lower part of the meadow the trout aren't quite as spooky.
