Thanks Kathy. I have a feeling Erin is visited more by climbers than backpackers. Was your friend fishing Rock Creek, or Erin?

Re: Erin Lake- Miter Basin
Yes, I don't think many people camp at Erin Lake. My friend, Bruce, was planning on fishing after we got down from Pickering; so he carried the fishing pole. As I recall he ended up fishing in upper Soldier Lake on that trip but not for long because the weather turned stormy. More people camp at Sky Blue Lake, but I doubt that it's ever crowded.richlong8 wrote:Thanks Kathy. I have a feeling Erin is visited more by climbers than backpackers.

Miter Basin is really pretty - it might actually be nicer to camp in Miter Basin before Sky Blue Lake. I think that's what I'm going to do next time I go into that area.
I've been up to Arc Pass and camped at Sky Blue Lake, but I've never gone over Crabtree Pass. I'd like to do a sort of loop by going in over Cottonwood Pass, up into Miter Basin, over Crabtree Pass (attempting McAdie along the way), and the following Crabtree Lakes to the PCT and south on the PCT going over Guyot Pass (hitting Mount Guyot on the way), and then going on out over Army Pass instead of Cottonwood Pass. Maybe this summer.

I don't think I will try to get over the pass this time- only 4 day trip, but it looks mighty appealing.
