Backpacking Recommendations...
Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2010 6:54 am
So a couple of buddies and I try and get together every year or so and do some backpacking. Basically, we're looking at something within this criteria:
1. 3 to 7 days
2. 20 to 70 TOTAL miles
3. Peaks along the way NOT required, but it would be cool if there were some...
4. NOT limited to California
5. Summer hiking - July or August
6. Fishing along the way would be cool, too
Obviously this opens up a huge realm of opportunity, and each one of us has some different ideas. My first idea was the High Sierra Trail from Sequoia to Whitney, but as they've all done Whitney before, they're kind of leaning away from that. Anyone have some favorite trails/backcountry experiences with the above criteria in mind?
Some places none of us have visited, but were considering are:
1. Yellowstone
2. Glacier
3. San Juan's in CO
In CA:
1. The Lost Coast
2. North Lake to South Lake out of Bishop
Thanks in advance,
Gusto
