Hi all, Okay, has anyone gone XC from around Ten Lakes north to the trail that runs along Tuolumne River? (We don't have time to go west to HardenLake/ White Wolf then east back to Tuolumne Meadows.) Is this even thinkable? Or should we just forget it? thanks -uliby ulrich - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion
How cold did it get? Snowed every afternoon. Lakes froze every night. (around July 4th @ 10,000-11,500 ft.) Great trip. Magnificent wilderness. Walls of 12,000+ peaks off in the distance. Days and days above timberline. Plus wind. Still great trip. just cold. -Uby ulrich - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada. News & Discussion

We are planning to stay/camp up high on some of the nights. I know this is hard to predict, but a conversation about some of the conditions we are likely to encounter at that time of the year/elevation would help us pack.

Thanks for the wise input. I hadn't calculated the trail distance that as that much (90mi), which for us is out of the question in 7 days. I guess we were thinking in terms of ~ 8mi/day, give or take. So I guess my next question is: what is the best resource for trail distances? Thanks, Ulrichby ulrich - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.

Hi (first time post) Very glad to have found this site. I'm planning a week's backcountry trip in late June, and I've got a couple of questions I'd like to ask if i may: In general we are starting at Tuolumne Meadows, then south to Vogelsang pass, west toward Brunnell Cascade, north to Cathedral Peak, then I'm thinking about the following: At Cathedral Peak I'd like to cross countrby ulrich - Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada.
