I'm seeking some advice regarding where to hike on June 8-12 with a friend who is coming for a visit in CA (I myself am a bit new to this area, and to this website...
![smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)
We are experienced backpackers, though usually stick to the trails, and don't have any real snow experience, so my main concern is the trails condition on these dates (snow covered/impassable rivers). We are mostly interested in scenery, and walk about 10-12 miles a day (4 days).
I thought of the Rae lakes (I hiked the JMT last summer, but had bad weather on that part so wouldn't mind visiting again), but I suspect Glen pass would pose a problem. The 5 lakes area also sounds amazing, but I assume it is too early in the season? Any suggestions for the Yosemite area that wouldn't be too crowded (assuming I cat still get a permit..)? I will appreciate any advice!
Thanks!
