planning a trip from walker lake to silver lake
Posted: Mon Sep 19, 2011 3:05 pm
Hi all. I know some of you from other msg boards.
I am doing the forementioned hike, also known as the kiop Peak Pass Traverse from the 100 hikes book. Basically, the route is out of walker, up thru sardines, over mono, parker and kiop passes, Alger lake, gem pass, gem lake and out.
We picked the route due to length, that we only have 3 hiking days available, no quota, easy drive from sacramento, etc. My questions are:
1. Anyone done this hike?
2. Is it better to camp the first night around parker pass to even the mileage out somewhat vs. Upper sardine?
3. Any other hikes like this in the vicinity that meet our criteria?
