First time backpacking... need suggestions on locations
Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2007 5:09 pm
My friends and I are planning a 3 night backpacking trip this weekend. Its our first time out and we’re having some trouble locking down a location. We’ve done countless day trips and car camping trips but this would be our first time in the back country. We were originally thinking of heading into the Sabrina Basin (Hungry Packer Lake) but with campfires prohibited in this area, we’re hoping for alternate locations.
Since its our first time out, we’re hoping for a moderate 3-8 mile hike in, good fishing spots a must, low mosquitoes, and permitted campfires. Hope we're not asking for too much...
We’d be driving up from Southern California so anything south of Mammoth would be doable.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
