June 19th, Rancheria--Crown Valley?
Posted: Mon Jun 05, 2006 9:32 pm
Mrs. Funhog and I were hoping to get a week of backpacking in starting at the Rancheria--Crown Valley trailhead. I guess the $64,000 question is will enough snow be gone to allow a hiking trip?
Initially we had thought a jaunt into Tehipite Valley would be to our liking but it seems crossing Crown Creek is going to be dangerous.
So do you think we can sneak into the Geraldine Lakes or get up to the Kettle Ridge?
I see the Western Woodchuck Meadow snow observation station shows 20 inches of snow and declining rapidly at this point.
