Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a three night snow camping trip in early March? (I am hoping we get snow by then.)
Will be in a group of three, two of whom are reasonably experienced with Sierra winter conditions. Prefer more the southern end if possible, one of our party is down in San Diego.
We'll have snowshoes, axes, and crampons, but I am looking to snowshoe back into something cool, not necessarily go mountaineering.
Any suggestions? I'd love an easy pass or something that isn't likely to be an avalanche risk if we do get snow in the next month, and hoping to avoid having to do the first and last 5 miles (or so) on pavement from the trailhead to the gate where the cars have to stop.
(Previous winter trips include wandering back around Mineral King, the Virginia Lakes area, and heading up to the Pear Lake Hut.)
Thanks in advance for any suggestions, appreciate it.
