Yosemite Area BPL Outings??

James I am interested….I live near Santa Cruz and all the area you mentioned I like. I am more of a weekend warrior kind of guy due to work demands. I am a 10-12 mile a day hiker. Self sufficient and hike my own pace. Let me know if you have any ideas. Matterhorn sounds very cool. That date works for me too

James, there is some nice weekend loops that you can do out of the Crabtree trailhead too. Pm me

I am also interested.

We are interested too

Excellent!

I'm hoping to do a few trips like this before winter. If anyone has other weekends that work feel free to chime in. This thread is hopefully as much about a specific trip as it is about starting a discussion.

In the mean time I'm still figuring out more on the routes I mentioned. I'm particularly excited about the Matterhorn Peak idea.

Thanks guys… I'll keep posting as I figure out details.

I'll already be in Kings Canyon (Tully Hole) that weekend doing trail work. We're off the previous and following weekends, and if it's then, I'd like join you guys.

James if we were to get anwyhere from 5-10 people hiking, Yosemite might not work. With the quota system in place and permits scarce, a better choice would be Emmigrant Wilderness where there is no quota system as well as we do not have to use bear cannisters. There are some great loops doable on a weekend from the Crabtree trailhead……..just my two cents

I may be in for this trip, will have to see as it gets closer to the date

Hey all,

Thanks for having expressed interest.

Unfortunately, my car has gone to the great parking lot in the sky, so I'm not going to be in on this one. Anyone who responded here, keep this thread going if you still want to coordinate together for this trip.

Sorry to be the party pooper.
