High Sierra Topix

So we changed our date by a day and were able to get a permit to go up Shadow Creek out of Agnew Meadows. Plan for now is to go to Ediza for 1 night, then to to Garnet or more likely 1000 Island Lake for one night and then probably head down River trail or High trail and camp so that we can head out early am for the drive home.

My main question is on finding a spot for the 3rd night, are there any regulations about how far you have to camp from the trail head? Do you prefer taking River or High trail?.

Also any opinions on the route in general are appreciated.

Thanks.

- River Trail at Olaine Lake or near the Middle Fork have are some sites available.
- High Trail is a little more problematic, water is the issue, I have camped at a site near the creek flowing just south of San Joaquin Mtn that crosses the trail.

Both of these site are legal, a 1/4 mile from the boundary line and developed areas, just follow the FS regulations about the distance from rivers, lakes, trails when setting up you campsite.

Thanks Maverick.
