Heading out for a quick overnighter this week and I was wondering if anyone has done a cross country route from Piute Lake down to the Pine Valley trail. Or is it better to go to Gem lake and do the same. I want to make this a loop and I have forgotten which lake I have stayed at and how difficult the travel is as it has been sometime since I have been there. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

But if you can read a map, and are careful about not getting yourself into a silly situation that you can't get out of, you'll be fine.

Sorry I don't have any tips, but I'm guessing this is in the Evolution area. Can you post some pics and a trip report when ya get back? I'm especially interested in the weather since I'm heading up the 14th.Have a nice trip!
