I don't think Dragon Pass with a full pack would be a good introduction to Sierra off
trail travel. Since you have expressed some hesistation about it, you might find
yourself in over your head on that pass.
My two cents.
Your are correct Schmalz that Dragon is definitely not a pass to use as a intro, butOP wrote:
Sorry about that, I neglected to provide more info under the assumption that I was more
or less the same hiker type as OP. Here's some further info:
-Level 3 (open to 4)
-Comfortable with all types of terrain
-Lakes/Big Mountain Scenery/Photography
-4-4.5 days, 4 nights
earlier the OP did write the he had Level 3 experience and open to Level 4, and
comfortable on all terrain. He also indicated that on this trip he did not want
to do any cross-country.

Ordinarily I'd be fine with XC hiking, but this trip I'd prefer not to.
