Re: TR: South-North Lake w/OT Glacier Divide Loop
Thanks for the report. I hiked the JMT from North Lake to South Lake in my early forties, and South Lake to North Lake in my mid sixties. Funny how I remember the trail being much easier 20 years ago! But what a beauty!

tnewton,
Nice trip and great write up! I have not gone back to check details, but several years ago, mokelumnekid started that route, but became irritated by some jerks who left a bit of a mess at Ramona (like a pink thong in a fire pit?). And then something else precluded him completing the loop, so great to read that you persevered, especially with some of the wild weather and pack issues. Like you, I recall encountering no cairns from Ramona till below Snowtongue pass, but that could well have changed. And I'm always impressed with fanatics who can fly to CA and then grab their pack and go. Wow!
