Really enjoyed your TR--thanks for sharing :)

This trip (in the opposite direction) was the first trip in the Sierras my husband and I did upon moving to California. Dusy Basin is the "happy place" I go to when at the dentist, etc.!

Gorgeous photos.

These are wonderful pictures and great descriptions.
Very helpful for trip planning. Thanks.
Any chance you have the GPX file for this route that you have taken?
I apologize if its already on the map. I just did not see it.

I wonder if mid-May a good time to visit. I should expect snow on trail?

hiac,
it is a wonderful time to visit, *IF* you are an experienced backcountry skier. Otherwise, wait until July.

The last time that I skied over Lamarck Col it was April of a typical snow year.
