Afternoon all,
One glance and I new I had to join! A good amount of knowledge bouncing around here.
I will be attempting the SHR starting September 1st 2011 north to Tuolumne Meadows and then follow the Tahoe Yosemite Trail home to Lake Tahoe.
Duration 30 to 45 days weather permiting (here's to HOPE)
Kings Canyon - Puite Pass - Bishop 7 Days resupply in Bishop
Piute Pass - Red's Meadow 7 Days resupply at Red's Meadow (Mammoth if Red's is closed)
Red's Meadow - Tuolumne Meadows 7 Days resupply at Tuolumne Meadows (Lee Vinning if Tuolumne is closed)
Tuolumne Meadows - Kennedy Meadows 7 Days resupply at Kennedy Meadows (Sonora if Kennedy Meadows is closed)
Kennedy Meados to Lake Tahoe 10 days
I will be attempting to cover 10+- miles a day
Base weight 13 pounds
2 pounds per day of food (I add Hammer Nutrion to my diet for performance)
Bear Vault 450 for the Bears/RANGERS with an Ursack for overflow.
Wow that was a mouth full.... So what I'm looking for is any hints/advice/opinions/ect.
A couple of issues/concerns late season + high country, might = ?snow? I will have to do my home work and find exit pass's if it hits the fan.
The resuplly points most likely will be closed as the hike goes on...
