SUMMARY:Gardiner Basin - 5 day tour including Rae Lakes
DESCRIPTION:Gardiner Basin Loop Tour with Rae Lakes. I am posting this trip to gauge interest from the club\, please add your name to the waiting list if you want to join. Potential attendees will be screened and manually added based on experience and history with the group. \nThis trip passes through some of the most beautiful parts of the Sierras including Rae Lakes. The loop will take us from Onion Valley over Kearsarge pass and across the PCT to Charlotte Lake\, then over Gardiner Pass into Gardiner basin\, then turning eastward to cross into Sixty Lakes Basin\, rejoin the PCT north of Rae Lakes\, follow the PCT south through Rae Lakes and then back to Onion Valley. \nTHIS IS NOT A BEGINNER TRIP. The majority of the trip is an off-the-maintained-trail-system loop requiring navigational skills. It is also high altitude\, starting at Onion Valley (9200) and going up from there. We will cross 5 high passes (Kearsarge (11\,800)\, Gardiner (11\,200)\, Sixty Lakes Col (11\,700)\, Glen Pass (11\,900)\, and then Kearsarge again) over 5 days. Sixty Lakes Col is a class 2 scramble. Daily mileage is around 8 – 12 miles per day\, shorter while in the basin to allow side trips. Bear barrels are required. Previous backpacking experience in the Sierras a must\, preferably recently as altitude acclimatization is required. \nItinerary:\nSunday Sept 15th – drive to Onion Valley (approximately 7 hours drive from San Diego)\, camp at Grays Meadow Campground (car camp\, on road up to Onion Valley Trailhead) \nMonday Sept 16th – Enter wilderness via Onion Valley Trailhead\, over Kearsarge Pass to Charlotte Lake. From start at Onion Valley (9200′) over Kearsarge pass (11\,800) 8.3 miles\, elevation gain/loss 2745/1539 \nTuesday Sept 17th – Over Gardiner pass into Gardiner basin\, camp in the basin. From start at Charlotte Lake (10400′) over Gardiner pass (11\,262) and descend to Gardiner Creek (8900) 6.6 miles\, elevation gain/loss 1757/3122. Should have time to explore Gardiner Basin after setting camp. \nWednesday Sept 18th – From Gardiner creek (8900) follow the creek upstream to lake 11407\, then over Sixty Lakes Col (11\,732) and descend into Sixty Lakes Basin to camp there. 6.8 miles\, elevation gain/loss 2800/1270. Short mileage as the climb over the col may be challenging. \nThursday Sept 19th – From Sixty Lakes Basin (10630) over Arrowhead Gap (also noted as basin notch on some maps) to rejoin PCT north of Rae lakes at Arrowhead lake\, proceed south through Rae lakes and over Glen Pass (11991) to camp at Kearsarge Lakes. 10.7 miles\, \, elevation gain/loss 2672/2304 \nFriday Sept 20th – Back to Onion Valley Trailhead. 5.7 mi\, over Kearsarge pass (11818) and down to parking lot (9200). Should get back in time to drive back to San Diego. \nRoute details via CalTopo https://caltopo.com/m/072PR . Carpooling from San Diego to the trailhead will be arranged once the attendees have been finalized. \nDisclaimer: You are responsible for yourself and your safety. The trip leader is not a professional guide. You are responsible for making good decisions. Be prepared for the terrain\, weather\, distance\, and elevation. As with any trip\, the unexpected can happen including inclement weather. A go with the flow attitude is always a good thing. \nBy signing up for these events\, you agree not to hold the organizers responsible for whatever happens to you on the trip. The hiking group does not certify the expertise of the organizers or trip leaders. We are NOT responsible for any possible losses or injuries.

SUMMARY:Fig Newton Canyon (off Kanan Road) to fire road
DESCRIPTION:This is an alternative hike for Tuesday\, and not quite as fast-paced as the other hike. We’re only going 5 miles to the fire road. \nFrom the Kanan Rd trailhead\, we’ll jump on the Backbone Trail for a cruise down into Newton Canyon. On our way there\, we’ll cross the creek\, pass under an oak canopy\, and come out into an opening. At the opening\, look toward the sandstone formations in the distance\, and we may see a flow of water from Upper Newton Falls\, especially since it may rain the weekend before. Once we hit the fire road we will turn around for a total of 5 miles with about 900’+ total elevation gain. \nhttps://www.meetup.com/The-Weekday-Trailblazers/about/\nRestrictions apply for your safety and ours: \nYou must be on the “Attending” list\nUnregistered or waitlisted will be turned away\nNo “Plus Ones” on this hike\nPlan on completing the entire hike or please find an alternative hike that better suits your hiking level.\nNo dogs allowed. \nDirections: \nExit 101\, then go south (toward beaches) on Kanan Road about 8 miles to just before the third tunnel (T1). The parking lot is on the right. \nFrom Pacific Coast Highway\, go north on Kanan Dume Road about 4 miles and make a left turn into the parking lot immediately after going through the first tunnel. \nParking is free. \nBring sunscreen\, plenty of water\, and wear sturdy shoes and a sun hat. Please consider bringing the 10 essentials (.) \nDISCLAIMER / RELEASE OF LIABILITY \nIMPORTANT\, PLEASE READ BELOW IN ITS ENTIRETY: \nThe hike host is a volunteer and not responsible for the group.
