Bear Lake, Emigrant Wilderness, August 24-26

I had too much work to do this weekend so we postponed the trip to Sept. 7th.
Anyone care to join us?

Kat, have you been to Camp Lake?? It is only a couple of miles from the trailhead and there are not that great of camping options…just an FYI. Bear Lake is quite nice though and from the trailhead is about 4-5 miles. You might want to hike there and explore from there. At the inlet of the lake, you can follow it cross country to I think it is Granite Lake?? Nice day hike and some easy cross country…you use the creek as a reference. Minimal map skills required.

Hi Ken,
Yes the plan is to go the Bear Lake and camp there and then day hike on Saturday . This will be a leisurely trip, the last one with my friend who is moving to Colorado.
Thanks.

If you two want a fun dayhike try the trip that I suggested…it has some uphill but it is a lot of fun and the views are great

I'd be down.. I edited my profile if you'd like to read it. It has links to my blog and youtube videos about backpacking. Though the blog is mostly about CompSci.

I'm trying to find more fellow backpackers. The company is nice and there is the safety issue as well. That and it's nice to learn tricks through osmosis.

That and planning expeditions is hard so you can share the work and driving.

so long as everyone likes dogs, Allie and I are in. Kevin, your profile says SF; I'm in Berkeley, so if you want to BART over, I could drive.

We love dogs!
