Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2015 7:42 pm
What level of backpacking experience do you have?
Level 3- Numerous backpacking trips, some x-country travel
What terrain are you comfortable/uncomfortable with?
- Class 2 terrain/pass/x-country
- River crossings
What is your main interest?
- Lakes
- Photography
- Fishing
How many days/nights is your trip, not including travel to trailhead?
4 days/3 nights
How many miles did you want to do a day, any layovers?
10-15 miles per day/possibly layover day with day hikes
Do you have a route logistics preference: loop, out and back
Is there a particular area in the Sierra that your most interested in?: Rae Lakes area
I'm planning on the Rae Lakes loop from Onion Valley, but was thinking instead of the loop it might be fun to go straight to Rae Lakes and do some exploring such as visiting the Sixty Lakes Basin and other areas. Any ideas/suggestions on a fun four day trip starting from Onion Valley?
