I have a family trip (3 days/2 nights) to Pika Lake at the end of July, then 7 days/6 nights Onion Valley-Cottonwood Pass (including hopefully a day hike to Whitney from the west) with my twins in the second half of August. My twins (now 11) were very keen to do Whitney this year, after we opted for Miter Basin instead of Mt. Langley last summer. Then hopefully a 3 day/2 night weekend trip to the Minarets in mid-late September.
I'm wondering about an early season trip (probably 3 days/2 nights) with my youngest son (turning 7 in June) as he's jealous of the trips his older siblings get to do. He enjoyed our trip to Lake Aloha last Labor Day weekend. Any ideas for Memorial Day weekend about a nice lake say 3-4 miles from the road (we'd be coming from the Bay Area)? Looks like the high country will be pretty accessible by then in this dry year, though it obviously depends on the weather (after we got snowed on last Memorial Day weekend!). I guess it will be cold overnight up high though!
