North Lake to Pine Creek July 5th-8th
Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2018 8:24 am
A bunch of friends bailed so I have 5 extra permits for the following:
Planning an easy 4-day cross-country backpacking trip starting out of North Lake over Piute pass, then across Humphrey's basin, Puppet Pass, then exploring most of the lakes sitting atop the bench above French Canyon, over Royce Lakes, Granite park, and out Pine Creek trailhead. About 30 miles. Planning to acclimate night of 4th of July at North Lake campsite.
Here is my plan of the itinerary https://caltopo.com/m/EF13
About myself:
-My name is Jose and I'm 29 years old.
-Love maps and finding my way around so getting lost is not an issue for me
-5-6 years of backpacking experience, you don't have to worry about what I carry, although we can share stuff to lighten up the load (my pack will weight somewhere between 25-30 lbs)
-One friend remaining that can go with me and her name is Ana.
Some stuff in my repertoire:
- Mt Whitney twice,
1st - starting from Horseshoe Meadow, Rock Creek, Guyout pass, Crabtree Meadow, and out main trail. (4 days)
2nd - starting from Horseshoe Meadow, Cottonwood Lakes, Old Army Pass, Miter Basin, Discovery Pinnacle, and out MR (3 days)
- Mt Williamson once (4 days), standard route over Shepherd's Pass
- Rae Lakes Loop, counterclockwise (4 days)
- Baxter pass to Rae lakes to 60 Lakes basin to Woods Lakes, and out Sawmill pass (4 days)
- and a few 1-2 nighter trips (Big pine lakes, Thousand island Lake, Cottonwood lakes, Kearsarge Pass, Cloudripper via South Lake, and others)
