Does anyone know if this route is doable? I've got a loop planned and am trying to avoid having to drop all the way down Second Recess to the Mono Creek Trail.

Thank you!

Seems getting to snow lakes from 4th recess lk is doable with some careful route finding above the lake. Wonder how getting over the divide NW of Mills will be. Where ya coming from the N before Mono crk?

Here’s a pic looking up 4th recess from near the mono pass trail from a day trip loop on 7/1/24:

Here's a view looking at the intended route just above Upper Mills Cr. Lake on August 15th. Hope this helps.
