We'll backpack in from Lake Sabrina trailhead to 11,000' Midnight Lake and set up camp.

No camp potatoes.
Trip 3: Treasure Lakes M8C

Beautiful backpack among sparkling Treasure Lakes and dense, wind-sheared whitebark pines. Possiblilities: cross-country over southern Hurd Peak Saddle (with views of Mts.

Trip 4: Piute Pass H8D

This exploratory outing will find us nestled among high mountain lakes, below forbidding glacier-encrusted crests of the Eastern Sierras. Stay in camp or join us for some vigorous hiking, including some potential cross-country, as we explore our awe-inspiring surroundings.
