What are you planning for 2014?

Let us know how the Colorado Trail goes! I am intersted in it myself, since my daughter and family live in Durango.

heading out in 2 weeks for a mix of Muir Trail, Sierra High Route and off trail to get from Tenaya Lake to Whitney in around 3 1/2 weeks. We'll be on the trail around June 25 and hope to exit on July 17. Still not absolutely certain what route we'll take, but we are already packing food.

So far I have a few trips on the books, although more to add I am sure as time allows....

1. A trip back into Bear Lakes basin in a couple weeks. Not sure if we will be doing the High Route from Mcgee Pass South to Piute or some other variation over Italy Pass, etc.

2. A trip hopefully to Tunemah Lake in July. We tried to get there a couple years ago but bit off more than we could chew with a week's worth of time going in over Lamarck and exiting Bishop Pass. We had to bypass the lake and continue down into Tehipite Valley. Would love to get there this year and fish. We are thinking of entering via Echo Col, going through Ionian Basin to lake 10232, exiting Tunemah Lake either by the Tunemah Trail route or by dropping into Goddard Canyon and up Rambaud Creek to Rambaud pass and out Bishop Pass. If we decide on not doing this route then we would do a traverse the Black Divide instead.

3. A traverse of the Great Western Divide via Kearsarge Pass and out Shepherds Pass. We are thinking of getting up Brewer from East Lake and then accessing the peaks via the west slope, fishing and making our way down the divide towards either the HST, or if time allows exiting via Triple Divide Peak area back to the JMT and out Shepherds Pass.

4. Thunderbolt to Sill traverse via camping in Barrett Lakes Basin....looking forward to the fishing.

I have a few other trips in mind that I'd like to execute this summer but will have to see how time allows for them to play out(Miter Basin, Gardiner basin, Arrow Peak region).
