Trip Recommendation Wanted - 9 Day, Eastern Sierra
Posted: Fri Jun 19, 2015 6:28 pm
I am a level 4 backpacker comfortable with class 3 routes. Going with my friend, same level. Looking to push ourselves a bit, do something epic.
I am using the suggestions posted here viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4205 for requesting trip advice
Looking for a 9 day trip, Loop or partial loop, Eastern Sierras. (we only have one car, but if there is a shuttle trip that can be economically arranged I am open to that) Any layover days will be spent exploring, fishing, peak bagging. Dates 7/24 - 8/2
- Cross Country/Off Trail sections would be awesome.
- We would be down with big miles in order to have a bunch of layover days in some amazing secluded area with lots to explore on day trips, otherwise happy with shorter mileage 5-9/day.
- Fishing Tenkara.
- I love high basins with lots of lakes to explore.
- The less people we see, the better (plus this means less pressure on the fish!)
Places I have been in Sierras (I have loved all these trips)
- Lost/Sword Lake in Carson Iceburg Wilderness
- Kaiser Wilderness Loop past George Lake to small lakes above (campfire, college, jewel)
- North lake Loop: Lamark Col - Darwin Bench - McLure Meadows, Piute Canyuon - French Canyon Humphries Basin
- Loop to Madera Lake, Lillian and Chittendon Lakes East of Madera Peak
- Loop from Twin Lakes - Peeler Lake - Benson Lake - Matterhorn Creek, out Horse Canyon
- Gem Lake - Waugh Lake - Thousand Island Lake Loop
- Bear Lakes Basin loop in through granite park and out through French Canyon and Pine Creek Pass
