Comments
If you want 100 miles, just pick an eastern lateral from the Owens Valley, measure down the JMT, then add the eastern lateral back out, add in/out to the JMT mileage and get to 100.
Have you tried the Pine Creek Eastern Lateral above Bishop, just north of the Buttermilk Country? It's not long to Honeymoon Lake, then up to Humprhries Basin if you have the energy. Or to Italy Pass, but down the west side is cross-country and fairly difficult. Well, I just re-read your entry--so you've done Pine Creek. I think Tom's Place might be a good starting point for an easier east side backpack.
Backpacking trips of that difficulty are one's we want to avoid. We've been over Bishop Pass into Kings Canyon twice and that was a lot easier. We're looking for something along the east side that would be about the same as Bishop/Kings but new to us. We have been over Paiute to Humphries Basin to Desolation Lake and back via Golden Trout. Also, twice up Pine Creek to various areas.
Any advice? Thank you.
