Inferno Lakes to East Fork Cherry Creek info
Posted: Sat Aug 18, 2012 2:41 pm
Hi folks,
I'm Rob and have been backpacking since scouts in the 70's. We've been venturing off trail for the past 12 years and have wandered through untrammeled beauty in places like Lakes Basin, Kaweah Basin, Gardiner Basin. Done a couple segments of Ropers High Sierra Route and feel comfortable on class 2 passes, Kaweah pass being the exception....nasty!
Rough outline of our trip will be Shingle Springs to Flora Lake, on to Spotted Fawn, then to Huckleberry Lake for some fishing and out via Kibbie Ridge. I was last at Huckleberry in the mid 70's and the fishing was incredible.
Any advice on going from Spotted Fawn to Huckleberry. We are thinking of following the creek to Inferno Lakes, then heading north N/E to the east of peak 8241 and then just to the west of 8151 and down to the East Fork of Cherry Creek. I have read that the terrain gets really cliffy around Inferno Lakes.
Many Thanks
