3 day sierra trip with a 14 year old
Posted: Mon May 22, 2017 2:39 pm
Hi
So I'm trying to find the right trail for my son and I. he loved the lakes trail to pear lake and I LOVED the rae lakes loop. I was thinking of doing something starting at onion valley but I think the elevation gain would be hard enough to make him miserable. I found Agnew to Thousand island and that's looks like better elevation change for less complaining. And looks gorgeous! Is that a good pick? Or other ideas?
Priorities in order are:
1. Amazing scenery especially lakes
2. Moderate or easy not hard
3. 3-5 days probably no more than 7-9 miles a day depending on elevation. We want time to relax.
THANKS!
The permits are basically full everywhere already. How hard are same Day? We are ok starting anywhere up the 395 or in SEKI.
