Hi GBrown09,

Welcome to HST! Great intro TR, really enjoyed the sunrise Banner & wildflower
shot. Thanks

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

For most of my sunrise/sunset landscapes I take two exposures and blend them together in Photoshop. This helps even out the exposure between the bright sky and dark foregrounds.

Is there overnight parking at Agnew Meadows? I’m going to do the Agnew Meadows-1000 Island Lake Loop in a few weeks and looks like DP Natl Monument is closed, which is where I was going to park.

There IS overnight parking there, but the road is closed, with no prediction of if / when it will open this year. You'll likely have to park up at the top, then walk the road down to get to the trailhead.

@Andyw - they allow long-term parking in the furthest lots (definitely C, maybe B) by the Mammoth Adventure Center / lodge / ski area on Minaret Road. From there, you'll walk toward the Minaret Vista entrance station, then head down Reds Meadow road til you get to the Agnew trailhead.
