Sierra Divide Loop (43 miles)
July 5 to July 10, 2007
Day 1: Lake Edison to North Fork Creek (8 miles)
Day 2: North Fork to Laurel Lake (6.5 miles)
Day 3: Laurel lake to Tully Lake (3.6 miles)
Day 4: Tully Lake to Big McGee lake (4.3 miles)
Day 5: Big McGee Lake to Hopkins Creek (4.8 miles)
Day 6: Hopkins Creek to Lake Edison (15.3 miles)
This trip took us from Lake Edison up the Mono Creek, then up the Laurel Creek Canyon, over Bighorn and Shout-of-Relief passes down into Tully Lake; from Tully Lake over McGee Pass to Big McGee lake; then over Hopkins pass, an aborted attempt over Crocker Col, and instead down through Hopkins Canyon, and finally back to Lake Edison via Mono Creek. About half the trip was cross-country (off-trail).
I recommend it.
