All Packed but where to go?- Part 2
Posted: Fri Jul 19, 2019 3:37 pm
Hi Everyone,
WD had exactly the same questions as me:
1) Where do I have a better chance of less mosquitos
2) I need safe creek crossings
3) I will have a 7 month old pup with me so I do not want steep icy passes requiring ice axe but snow camping and trails are great.
4) I would like to go for about 6 days
I am leaving on Saturday. However, I have some slightly different requirements and would appreciate the help.
I was just at Virginia/Purple in 2017 as well as Thousand Island/ Ediza. Just spent a lot of time in Emigrant last year so would prefer something new. Do you think that Pioneer will be a possibility? I still see some ice on Mono Pass using CalTopo but I cannot really tell if crampons would do it or if it would require a lot of caution and an ice axe. I had also considered going to Red Mountain but considering most that commented said it will be mosquito central, probably not a good idea. Any opinions about Carson Iceberg Wilderness and all of those river/creek crossings?
Thanks so much!!
