High Sierra Topix

Hello Members,

Since the time to get permits for this event is coming up in a couple of weeks, I would like to see how much interest there would be in having our 2022 HST Meetup; the location is the same as last year's canceled location, Ladder Lake.

Dates would be a little later in the year, August 4th and 5th, just in case the snow levels are high.

Hi @maverick I'm interested. Great location

Interested. Always wanted to go there

Not interested. Location is too remote for me.

Interested but too early to say if I am backpacking in the Sierra or the Wind Rivers this summer. How set are the dates? Maybe I should get a permit just in case, and then cancel it if I go to Wyoming. Last year permits from South Lake (Bishop Pass) sold out quickly.

The location is not that "remote"- all trail access until the last mile or so up the creek to the lake, which is a bit rigorous and slow. Crossing the stream is the first crux, not bad if flow is low, then simply getting around some brush. I would say it is easier to get to than Keweah Basin.

I plan to be at ladder lake july 19 2022. So wont make meetup, bummer!

I have lots of stuff going end of July, so just a maybe, but interested for sure. I have been wanting to see it.

..and see a certain piece of rock up close.

Since we're expecting our grandchild's birth in late July, I can't commit to any trips in that time frame. I hope everyone who can make it has a great time!

I'm interested. I have a permit for Taboose on July 28 with thoughts of checking out Palisade and Dusy Basins and Amphitheater, Dumbell and Lake Basin. Probably won't do all of that, but I have up to 11 nights to fill. I've never been in this part of SEKI so I plan on seeing poking around in lots of corners

Very interested in making this part of my first trip out west in 3 years. Location and time are great should I be able to put together a summer in the Sierra. Still too early to commit as I am in the middle of renovating a house I want to sell as soon as that work is done. Been at it for 18 months already. This meetup date gives me some extra motivation to get that wrapped up asap.

Ladder Lake just out of sight and about to receive some warming morning sun. This is a August 18 image.
