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.

Re: 3 Day Trip / July 4 Weekend
Decided to do Mammoth Lakes area July 4th weekend so going to do this area Labor Day weekend.
Where should I try and camp night before if I am heading out following day from Horse Corral area? What walkup? What reservable campgrounds nearby?

Reservable campgrounds are in the park or along the highway (Dorst, for example). The campgrounds along Big Meadows are free but the NF is changing that - they will probably be first come / first serve and $12, if they are not already. They are likely easy to get. If not you can pick a pullout on the drive in - there are plenty that are camp-able and some with a view.sambieni wrote:Decided to do Mammoth Lakes area July 4th weekend so going to do this area Labor Day weekend.

You don't need permits for Jennie Lake Wilderness unless you are crossing the park boundary - then you get the permit from the park.

Thanks. Much appreciated. I am thinking of hiking a full loop over Silliman and around JO Passes.

Re: 3 Day Trip / July 4 Weekend
Trip is ready
Thursday afternoon driving up to Shady Rest CG from LA
Friday: Early shuttle to Devil's Postpile and hike to Rosalie Lake
Saturday: Hike to Ediza Lake
Sunday: Hike to 1000 Isles
Monday: Hike out and drive back to LA
Possible alternative is
1) Rosalie via Ediza and back to camp at Garnet Lake or just straight to Garnet
2) Camp near Badger Lake area to shorten the trip out
Any last minute trail guidance welcome.
In meantime working on getting my pack down. Base weight somehow popping around 20 lbs, plus food/bear can another 10, plus water. I am now nearing 37-38. This despite having dropped ~5-6 lbs off my original base weight w new tent, WM bag, lighter/less gear....
