[pct-l] Tahoe Rim Trail Parking

[Jim Banks]

There is a parking lot at the trailhead at Barker Pass.  Barker Pass is at
PCT mile 1129 approximately and just a few miles south of where the TRT
breaks off from the PCT and heads north east.  The road to Barker Pass is
about 7 miles long from the intersection with Highway 89, all but the last
1/2 mile is paved and the last 1/2 mile is a good gravel road.  A car would
have no problems with the road.  I left my truck there for a few days and
had no problems.

Where would be a good place to leave a car for 1.5-2 weeks while thru-hiking
the Tahoe Rim Trail (TRT)?  The trailhead at Echo Summit is the only place
I'm familiar with due to thru-hiking the PCT in 2009.  The resort at Echo
Lake will be in transition to shutting down at some point this month so I
don't know if that's even an option.  I'm most likely starting next weekend
with a small possibility of starting the following weekend (still doing some
final negotiation at work on which would be better).

I'm posting here since the PCT and TRT share trail through the Desolation
Wilderness and because I know a few people who post here live in the area.

Thanks!
