MORE DETAILS AND PHOTOS WILL BE POSTED LATER. For moderately to advanced backpackers due to the longer mileage, several passes, and extreme steepness and unmaintained nature of Baxter Pass Trail.
This hike requires us to shuttle vehicles between Onion Valley and Baxter trailheads.
Add yourself to the waitlist and I will manually add you.
