Peeler and Benson Lakes, Matterhorn Canyon
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2011 12:36 pm
Sorry to join the chorus of "has anybody been here?" but a friend was planning on taking, in the next two weeks, our scout troop on the loop starting at Twin Lakes and passing through Peeler Lake, Rancheria Creek, Benson Lake, Smedburg Lake, Benson Pass, Matterhorn Canyon Mule and Burro Passes and back to Twin Lakes. The trail is probably still very snowy and I suspect that at least one of the stream crossings is rather hairy for Boy Scouts, but would appreciate any further inside this August group may have. Already checked the PCT thruhiker reports, which are also pretty frightening. Your help is much appreciated.
