[pct-l] call for itineraries through lake strewn wilderness for a post-frost fall backpack



Probably the best single loop in the Sierra is the North Lake to South Lake
loop out of Bishop. You will be within 300 yards of water almost everywhere.
A more agressive approach is to continue past LeConte Canyon southward up
the Golden Starecase to Palisade Lake, then take the x-country over several
xcountry passes to Dusy Basin. I have heard that Mt. Sill is a walkup but a
very tough one.

PS: South on the JMT from Tuolumne is also nice as Rich mentioned.

Hi All,

Any suggestions for a one-weakish backpack of 10-15mi/day that 
would lead one through upper elevations (>4000') laced with 
swimable waters - be they lakes, creeks, ... -  along the PCT
or elsewhere in the West? 

Cheers,
Mike
