SUMMARY:Iva Bell Hot Springs via Duck Pass [date subject to change]
DESCRIPTION:***DATE SUBJECT TO CHANGE TO AUGUST 22-25. Keep both dates open if you want to come on this trip. RSVPs will open APRIL 1. Add yourself to the waitlist and I will manually add on April 1.*** \nThis is a moderately-advanced trip and may be conducted as a through hike or a loop hike\, it’s still being planned. If we exit on a Sunday\, we can exit Reds Meadow and see Rainbow Falls. If we exit on a Monday\, it’ll have to be a loop hike back to the Duck Pass trailhead because Reds Meadow Road will be under construction. \nBe Prepared for mosquitoes galore 🦟 \nContainers to prevent Bear access required🐻. This means devices like “UrSacks” are legal\, but not nearly as effective as hard canisters\, so the forest prefers if you use a canister. \n\nhttps://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd937089.pdf\nhttps://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/fseprd937090.pdf\n\nTRIP STATS: \n\nTotal Mileage: 28 – 38 miles\, depending\nElevation gain: 6\,400+ feet\nHighest: 10\,700 feet @ Duck Lake\nLowest: 7\,200 feet @ Iva Bell Hot Springs\n\nITINERARY FOR OUT/BACK HIKE: \n\nFriday\, August 9: meet at the Duck Pass Trailhead at 8am.

OR turn back to camp back at Purple Lake again if preferred\, or if the skeeters are worse at Iva Bell.\nMonday\, August 12: hike back to our vehicles (this will be very strenuous if out of Iva Bell (15 miles). If from Purple Lake\, not so bad (5.6 miles).\n\nITINERARY FOR THROUGH-HIKE (we can shorten the August 9 trip in order to squeeze this below itinerary but it might be really tough/strenuous): \n\nThursday\, August 22: Duck Pass to camp at Purple Lake (5.6 miles).\nFriday\, August 23: Hike to Iva Bell Hot Springs and camp (9.5 miles downhill).\nSaturday\, August 24: Either stay another night at Iva Bell\, or\, get on Fish Creek Trail and find a campsite somewhere along the 13 miles journey to Reds Meadow.\nSunday\, August 25: Hike to Rainbow Falls and take ESTA shuttle out\, back to Coldwater Campground.\n\nNOTES: \n\nThere are several campgrounds in the Lakes Basin area of Mammoth – so book a site now for Thursday August 8 and Wednesday\, August 21 if you want to be next to the trail head in the morning.
