evolution creek (in september) for a rookie

Post by frozenintime »

hey all

i'm planning to do the north lake/south lake loop around memorial day with a friend. he's done some backpacking, but 5 days in the sierra will be a definite step up for him.

i'm curious if you all think the evolution creek crossing would be at all problematic for him.
the internet makes reference here and there to it being a somewhat difficult ford.
from what i've seen it is fairly wide, but by early september i'd have to assume that its roar will be suitably softened.
but i just wanted to ask.

thank you!

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.
