Some pix from my Sep. '09 hike on the High Sierra Trail from Crescent Mdw. to Kaweah Gap, Big 5 Lakes and Black Rock Pass. More pics and trip report on my hike site: http://planetrambler.com/150mph/090914-18_GreatWesternDivide/index.html

Great, thorough report! You provide much better information than what I've seen in various guide books. I'm going to come back and check out your other trips on your site.

Great stuff, bro. Good photos. Did a very similar trip in July doing a loop out of Mineral King to HST to Kaweah, to Little 5 to Big 5, and then out over Sawtooth.

Big 5 Lakes is a great area to visit. Scenic and secluded. Lots of water. Mosquitoes not nearly as bad as surrounding areas. Just a pleasure.

I was planning a trip (initially for next week) to launch out of Wolverton; North cross country from the Tableland Meadows, and looping east and then south through Elizabeth Pass to the HST; West back to Wolverton through Panther Gap.

I've already canceled, but holding onto the off chance it's still possible at this time of year. Do you figure it's all closed up through Winter since this storm?

cheers,
-Michael

Hey Jim – Your hike I was looking at too. Would love to see your pix. I happened to notice your name in the register atop Jean Pk after I did San Jacinto this summer. Bet you're in all the peak registers around SoCal!

Mike – I'd monitor the weather reports closely and bring snow/ice gear if were to do your hike now. Eliz. Pass will surely have gotten snow, just how much has melted is the question…

The water in #3 is incredible. I feel like I'm looking at something from Myst or Riven…

Larry,
Just a tip, but you might want to edit your post to include a couple of "returns" between each photo to get them to align vertically, rather than spread off the screen.

Great photos.
