Backpacking trip advice in mammoth, CA near agnew meadows
Posted: Sun Jun 27, 2010 8:35 pm
So me and my friends are trying to plan a backpacking trip in mammoth near Agnew Meadows. We have very minimal experience in backpacking however we do camp frequently and have been on a few day hikes. We are all in fairly good shape and willing to go on just about any type of trail. Our main interest is the scenery, the adventurous type of hikes and we like the river crossings as well. Our current idea of a route was starting in Agnew meadows then heading to Ediza Lake and staying there for the night but making a short trip to iceberg lake that same day. Then we would head to thousand island lake stopping at garnet lake along the way to see the sights. After camping the night at thousand island lake we would then head back to agnew meadows along the high trail. I do not really know the area to well but I have done some research on these areas and have been looking around at other peoples hikes through this area. If anyone could help me with a route/trail that could take to the places stated that would be of great help and also on any other advice on backpacking through this region in general and the permits required. We would like to do this trip sometime in mid July if possible.
Thanks,
