Bishop Pass Back Country conditions?
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2012 6:47 pm
Hello,
I usually plan my my hiking trips that are over 8,000 feet in June due to snow conditions. This year the conditions are much drier so I am condsidering getting in a couple hikes in the Bishop Pass area the weekend of May 19th (which is usually too early). Before I make plans I would like to know what the conditions are currently like. Since I usually fish on my hikes I am curious to know what lakes are still frozen, I am also looking to see what condition the trail is in. I dont mind hiking in a little snow but I'm not looking to do any cross country skiing.
I'm looking for the condition of the following trails and lakes:
South Lake Basin Trail to..... (Long Lake, Treasure Lake, Ruwau Lake, Green Lake)
Sabrina Basin Trail to... (Blue Lake)
If anyone has been in any of these areas lately I would be thankful for the information.If anyone is going to these areas in Mid June I would be happy to let you know the conditions I had in May/June. Feel free to add to the thread or PM me.
Thanks,
Scott
