I posted this question on Highsierratopix and it was suggested that I try here:
I'm planning a Hetch Hetchy loop for two weeks from now. We’ll be going up past Lake Vernon to around Avonelle and Wilma Lakes, then taking a short stretch of the PCT East before heading South through what is labeled as Bear Valley on one map and past a lot of nameless lakes. This is parallel to and about four miles East of the trail that goes through Tiltill Valley. It then loops back west and intersects with the Tiltill Valley trail at Rancheria Falls.
I'm posting here because I can't find any reports of anyone hiking this route. And none of the map layers show names for any of the lakes, making it hard to search for. Does anyone have any experience with this trail? Any good campsites? There are some crossings with Breeze Creek and some small lakes that look like potential stopping spots around coordinates 37.9889, -119.5924.
Thanks!
