Friday, August 17th:
- Red Lake (Class B) & Coyote Lake (Class C). The trail to Coyote Lake starts at Red Lake so this is easier than it sounds.
- As time permits, we can do the following short & easy trails that are in the same area:
- Mirror Lake (Class B)
- West Lake (Class A)
- Strawberry Lake (Class A).
|
Saturday, August 18th:
- Arizona group leaves early morning.
- Option Day. We can do what the group wants. Possibilities are:
- Swap Lake (Class C and then some!).
- Swap Lake would be the roughest run we do and is easily as hard as the Dusy or Rubicon, just shorter. Many people take 2 days to run Swamp, but we should be ok doing in one long day. We will mark our milage and if the day runs too late, we will turn around as needed in order to avoid getting back to camp seriously late (after 9:00pm).
- Leave time would be 8:00am from the restaurant in town. Meet in town for breakfast at 6:45am.
- This will be a long day. Plan on arriving back to camp late, perhaps after dark.
- Be sure to bring extra food, water, clothes, etc.
- This trip will require a well prepared vehicle.
- Voyager Rock/Courtright Res, if we haven't been there already.
- Huntington Lake Road (no 4 wheeling). Just a scenic drive around the other side of Huntington Lake
- Stump Springs Road (again, no 4 wheeling).
- Could be an extention of the Huntington Lake Road trip.
- More scenic driving.
- Some dirt road exploration is possible to places like Mammoth Pool Res (swimming?), Brown Cone Mtn., Mt. Tom Lookout (el 9,018!)
|
Sunday, August 19th:
- Leave for home, 9:00am departure.
