If you've been searching for the best source of information and stimulating discussion related to Spring/Summer/Fall backpacking, hiking and camping in the Sierra Nevada...look no further!

You're going to lose two days if you go all the way into Bishop. It's about 12.6 miles out to South Lake and it's pretty steep. You'll be in shape though. Are you planning on staying somewhere towards Dusy Basin or down in Le Conte Canyon? Which way are you heading, NoBo or SoBo?
Rainbow packers will provide a food drop service. Could mean big $$ if they don't have a trek planned on your need date, but this service will save you time and miles. Steve
