Great photos, love the epic campsite.  Can you  provide a brief itinerary?  I’m planning on hiking from Sonora Pass to TM next year on the PCT, and I’m looking for some route options.
Sure, we did a fairly standard loop I think. From memory so double check but Twin Lakes -> Peeler Lake -> Benson Lake -> Matterhorn Canyon -> Crown Lake -> Twin Lakes. A couple days on PCT, about 50 miles 4 nights 5 days. Honestly a little more strenuous than we would have liked at our age / effort / comfort level but we didn’t have any problems other than being tired, and it was very scenic. :)
