SUMMARY:Yosemite - Snow Camping (Badger Pass to Dewey Point)
DESCRIPTION:Snowshoes Required: Dates may change depending on weather conditions. \nYosemite – Snow Camping (Badger Pass to Dewey Point) \nWinter transforms Yosemite’s familiar landscapes; exploring in winter is like finding a whole new park. But winter is less forgiving for the wilderness traveller\, and some extra precautions are in order. \nNOT FOR BEGINNERS (We reserve the right to deny or remove any members if they are deemed inappropriate for this trip. ) You must have previous backpack with this group before. NO EXCEPTIONS. (Join one of our other trips to qualify.) \nRSVP: You will be put on a waiting list\, we will contact you via meetup message. If you do not respond to our message\, we will go to the next person on the waiting list. RSVP will open in FEB. \nTrail Stats\nMileage: 12-14 Miles Round Trip\nTrip Elevation Gain: 800 -1000 Ft\nLevel: Moderately\nTerrain Type: Snow & COLD* \nItinerary (updating soon) \nSnowshoe touring in Yosemite can be a magnificent experience\, or it can be a disaster if certain simple preparations are ignored. Park rangers have assembled a set of suggestions which\, when observed\, can help ensure a safe trip even if you encounter stormy weather or unforeseen problems. \nDISCLAIMER: Hike at your own risk. Be responsible for yourself and your safety. Make good decisions. With any trip\, things can change\, reservations can get lost\, the unexpected can happen. A go-with-the-flow attitude is always a good thing\, and most importantly\, let’s all have fun! This is an intermediate hike. Make sure you are in good enough physical shape for the distance\, elevation changes\, and terrain. The hike leaders in this group aren’t professional hike leaders. By signing up for these events\, you agree not to hold the Meetup organizers responsible for whatever happens to you on these events. The hiking group does not certify the expertise of the organizers\, the event or assistant organizers (hike leaders) and…We are NOT responsible for any possible losses or injuries.

(tracks from previous trip to camp and waterfall Afternoon hike up to Hellhole Flat  Hike out\nRockhouse Canyon – Explore an Indian village\nAnza Borrego Epic – This one is maybe too epic. Can also be done as a shuttle if road to Sheep Canyon opens up (was not open when I was there in the Fall). \nThoughts?

SUMMARY:Collins Valley Anza Borrego Overnight
DESCRIPTION:The road to Collins Valley washed out during the hurricane and is still closed to vehicles so this is a great opportunity to do an easy trip. There should still be plenty of flowers.

If it gets too hot I will cancel the trip.\nWeather \nFriday night: I’m going to camp out close to closed gate. \nSaturday:\nHike to Sheep Canyon Primitive campground 4mi 600ft Track\nThere was water in the lower part of Sheep Canyon in October. I am confident there is still water there. There has also been water in Indian Canyon every time I’ve been there.\nIn the afternoon explore Sheep Canyon (optional). See photos of Jerry Schad’s trip description. \nSunday:\nMaybe check out Cougar Canyon. Hike out. \nDISCLAIMER: Hike at your own risk. Be responsible for yourself and your safety. Make good decisions. With any trip\, things can change\, reservations can get lost\, the unexpected can happen. A go-with-the-flow attitude is always a good thing\, and most importantly\, let’s all have fun! This is an easy hike.
