Day hike Symmes Creek to Onion Valley - Bikes
Posted: Wed Aug 25, 2010 3:42 pm
Hello! I am planning to hike from Symmes Creek to Onion Valley this weekend and was wondering if anyone knows if there are some places to lock up a bike at Onion Valley? I'd rather not have to hike an extra 13 miles on top of the 40 miles from the Symmes Creek trail head to the Onion Valley trailhead. I plan to lock the bike at Onion Valley, drive back down to Symmes and then hike straight through to Onion Valley trailhead via:
Symmes Creek
Tyndall Creek station
North on JMT/PCT
Hang a right at Charlotte lake
Over Kearsarge pass
End at Onion valley trailhead
Yes, I know this is a tough day hike, probably ~20 hours. I've done the Grand Canyon rim-rim-rim via Bright Angel both ways in 24 hours, about 49 miles. Just need the beta on bike lock potential at Onion valley, as I'd rather not have to lock the bike at Symmes and then ride uphill in Onion Valley.
Thanks so much!
