A way to shorten this trip is to skip Tuolumne Meadows to Sonora Pass.
This is a TOUGH section on which to begin a trip... first hand experience! (
and.. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with CWillett ) I had never hiked the
trail from Sonora to Echo lake before and I found it striking and strikingly
different from the granitic Sierra. From Sonora (mile 1013.2) to Echo ( mile
1089.3) is 76.1 miles. If that's too long, start at Ebbetts Pass.
