Where to Go
Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2014 9:28 pm
Hey guys,
I’ve been a member here awhile but have been lurking here for a year or so and I figured its time to start asking questions, contributing, and posting some Trip Reports as I plan on hiking/camping a lot more.
I'm from the LA area and live here permanently now but I went to school in Colorado and have been hiking and camping the past couple years, going backcountry a couple times.
I have a window of time the third weekend in June(3-4 days), so I thought I might ask the board which trip they would do if they had the time.
-Level 3
-Class I and II terrain
-Comfortable doing 8-11 miles a day
-Looking to return to the same trailhead I start at
-Main focus would be fishing, exploring, fishing, and scenery
With that being said I’ve been looking at going into:
1. Humphrey’s basin via Piute Pass and fishing Tomahawk and Mesa or exploring around here and maybe getting over to Chevaux, Paris, Alsace, and Elba.
2. Upper Kern near Rattlesnake and Funston Meadow
3. Or explore some of the Pioneer Basin.
I figured if anyone had some useful info about these places it would be here. Not looking for any secret spots just maybe some advice on what area provides the best fishing and would be up for doing some exploring.
Appreciate the help,
Nick
