Fri 8/30 - Mon 9/2 | Eastern High Sierra |
Backpack Trip (Porter W & Doug) This backpack trip will take us to the Eastern Sierra above the town of Lone Pine at elevations in the range of 10,000 to 12,000 feet in the Cottonwood Lakes area. It will be approximately 20 miles over 3 days through the Golden Trout Wilderness, John Muir Wilderness, and Sequoia National Park. The trailhead is at Horseshoe Meadows at 10,000 feet, which gives us great access to the High Sierra without extensive climbing from lower elevation. Once on the trail, the scenery will be stunning: pristine alpine lakes and streams, high elevation meadows, large basins gouged out by glaciers, and surrounding peaks rising to over 13,000 feet. |
