Hello, First week of August i'm staying a few nights near the Saddlebag Lake area. I'm interested in doing a hike to North Peak and was curious how "obvious" the class 2 approach is via the SW face. Is the use trail as "obvious" as the one for Mount Dana? Has anyone ever tracked it and willing to share their gpx? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Just wanted to follow up on our trip to Glen Aulin/Waterwheel Falls last weekend: Mosquitoes - Not so bad, except at Tuolumne Meadows near the Stables. Expect this to get bad fairly soon. Delaney Creek - Fast, but can be safely crossed with logs Dingley Creek - Ankle to calve deep. Upstream, you can rock hop and stay dry. Glen Aulin Campground - At most only 9 or 10 people last weekend.by packenvy - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi, So three of us are planning Hetch Hetchy to Rancheria Falls this Fri-Sun, contingent on acquiring permits day of. On Saturday we were going to do a leisure hike to Tiltill Valley. Originally thinking the Beehive/Vernon loop, but I don't think my mates were willing to do the 2000-3000 ft elevation climb on day one. Now that I see this post, a hike to Glen Aulin can be an option for us alby packenvy - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
Hi ckm554, Looking at your post, you did about 20 miles from the Dam to Rancheria Falls? After seeing this post, my group and I are now thinking about this loop. However, we may want to hike 8-10 miles on day 1. Hike 10-12 miles on day 2 and spend the night at Rancheria Falls, then hike out on day 3. Do you have any suggestions on where to camp on night 1 if we hike 8-10 miles on the firstby packenvy - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

Hello, Anyone have a detailed trip report of current trail conditions from TM to HI via the JMT? Our group plans to start from Reds Meadows on 8/6 and resupply at TM on 8/9. I'm still gathering TRs from Red Meadows to TM and folks in our group may not feel comfortable hiking over mile long snow fields or postholing throigh long stretches of patchy snow. Our plan B and C is to do a full loby packenvy - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
