Well said. Glad to read, that things are leaning more your way Terry.My humble opinion is, food is more delicious when you are hungry, scenery will feel better if it come at a price.

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.

Re: Request a 2-nighter trip in Sierra that have lake camps
Glad things are coming together for you!! Sounds like we are looking at the same area for the same time frame. I reserved permits for Shadow Creek as well.
Funny you should mention 20 Lakes Basin Dave..i've been debating between hiking to Ediza from Shadow Creek vs. this route: Saddlebag>Upper McCabe lake>Roosevelt Lake>Young Lake>Tuolumne (hitching back to saddlebag)SSSdave wrote:Although 20 Lakes Basin is a superb scenic destination with easy hiking, it is also very popular with both dayhikers and backpackers without reserved permits so one will not have much privacy having to put up with other people and groups. In any case a good backpack choice without complications. You cannot get a reserved permit for that area but rather only via walk-up permits at either the Mono Lake Visitor Center or the Tuolumne Meadows Backcountry Office. David

Re: Request a 2-nighter trip in Sierra that have lake camps
Wait what? You reserved shadow creek "as well"? Aren't I suppose to reserve Robinson Creek for Crown lake or Green Creek for East Lake? Hopefully I didn't reserve the wrong trailhead Orz....markley wrote:Glad things are coming together for you!! Sounds like we are looking at the same area for the same time frame.

EDIT: Don't mind what I just said. I am an idiot.

Re: Request a 2-nighter trip in Sierra that have lake camps
Haha, true true. I think my plan is start coming into some shape. I think I will do 1000 islands lake as first choice. But since there is high possibility I can't get permit, I reserved Robinson Creek for Crown Lake as well. East Lake will be my third choice.rlown wrote:pick a route already!

Ya I realized that later. I did reserve the shadow creek. Fools is on me.
I have exactly same thought. All those information could take me a really really long time to gather if without those people's help. Now I am fairly confident I am getting the best thing available to me. Thank you guys!
