Backpacking route ~65 miles - Humphreys basin & Evolution

Post by giulia »

Greetings,

I'm looking for suggestions for a 60-65 miles route (preferably a loop) in the Humphreys basin and Evolution valley areas. For this trip I'm aiming for trails and use trails so I like to leave more challenging cross-country out of the equation. The three of us be going at the end of Aug. and are experienced backpackers.

Thanks!

North Lake to South Lake and then walk down the road to the trail that leads to Tyee Lakes and Table Mountain. Hump over Table Mountain and drop into Lake Sabrina. Then hike back to North Lake. 70.5 miles. The Tyee Lakes see little traffic and the top of Table Mountain is kind of cool.

See my trail report from a loop that fits the bill. Fabulous hike that was recommended to me by several on this board.
