Voted 10/10 | Is this doable in a long day? | |

Voted 10/10 | Matthew and I did it last Sunday. Whether or not it's enjoyable in a long day is another (subjective) matter :) We didn't see a soul after the upper lake. There looked to be some nifty places to camp as well. Base-camping up there and then scrambling the nearby peaks over a few days could be a lot of fun. Sawtooth or Caesar Cap might be interesting - Matthew said Wayne Moss' book on the Trinity Alps had some beta on Sawtooth, but I don't have that one (yet). | |

Voted 10/10 | Just a thought - It's 8 miles to the upper lake. Then about 2 or 3 miles of cross-country travel (boulder-hopping and scrambling included). Maybe 20-odd miles round-trip, with ~6000' elevation gain. The real fun starts above the upper lake, since it's about 3000' of gain from there. | |
