Ski touring
After reaching the top of Shepherd Pass the Sierra High Route continues to the West in elevations between 10,000 and 13,000 ft (3,300 to 4,000 m). The confluence of Milestone creek with Kern river is a good place to camp in winter as it is one of only a couple places with running river water access, saving fuel and time. Crossing the river is usually good here on snow-bridges into May. June-July the snowmelt makes crossing more difficult.

At the high point of the barren Shepherd Pass the trail crosses the eastern ridge of the Sierra Nevada, but there are a few more ... From here the trail either descends to the Eastern Sierra valley, or follows a stream to the West.
