I'm planning on doing the Rae Lakes loop in mid-October. I've never been to the Sierras before, and it sounds like this loop is a good place to start. Other suggestions are welcome too, since I'll be in the area ~10 days and haven't decided on anything else yet.
I'd like some input on my gear list – mainly, will I be warm enough?
I know some of my stuff is heavy (like the tent and pack), but I bought it before I knew there were options other than what's at REI. I'm open to suggestions all around, but probably not willing to spend big $$ right now.
thanks!
