If the conditions were very good (hard packed Sierra cement) I could make it to Sailor Lake and back as a day hike from the Lake Sabrina TH or up to Piute Lake from the North Lake TH. . .but if conditions were bad (breaking trail in deep snow) it would be a push just to make it to Blue Lake. I haven't done winter climbing in the area.HikingGeek.com wrote:For a (long) dayhike, what would you consider a good turn around point if hiking out of Aspendell? Any peaks from that area (no tougher than class 2), that I should look into?Bluewater wrote:In the winter the road is open up to the gate just past Aspendell. From there it's about 1.8 miles to the trailhead.
For anyone looking for another place to post their snowshoeing & winter hiking photos and trip reports), please take a look at this new group:

I enjoy snow camping and would recommend doing at least an overnight if you are going to drive all the way to Aspendell:)
