I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to the parks in early/mid June next year. It will be me, a buddy, and possibly my brother. I just wanted to get a thread started on the subject to share what I've got planned so far and to also get some advice from some of the veterans to the area.
So far I've got these two identified as an options. It would either be all red and hit both of the parks, or start red and lollipop through yellow in Jennie Lakes Wilderness. Both of these routes would clock in at about 28 miles when you factor in all of the little jots off the main trails that lead to small lakes. All red definitely has the more severe elevation change though.
Any other suggestions out there? We're looking for the following...
- 3 nights
Moderate to difficult
Seclusion
Fishing
Campfires (at least a night or two)
