trips - SEKI Backcntry - Horseshoe Meadows to Onion ValleyTrip Info
DescriptionHello all. I have an 8 person permit to hike from Horseshoe Meadows to Onion Valley this August 20 - 26. Originally, I had a full group, but as usually happens, one-by-one everybody but one other person has dropped out. I am prepared to do this hike by myself if I have to. At this stage I have 6 open spaces on the permit. This hike will start at the Cottonwood Lakes trailhead. To Long Lake, up over New Army Pass down past the Soldier Lakes area into Rock Creek, joining up with the PCT heading north. Up over Guyot Pass to the Crabtree Meadow area west of Whitney, then hooking up with the JMT going north. We would continue north on the JMT over the Bighorn Plateau, up and over Forrester Pass, down into the Vidette Meadows area, past the Kearsarge Pinnacles. We then leave the JMT and head east past the Kearsarge Lakes and up over Kearsarge Pass to Onion Valley. 6 days and 5 nights. Average would be about 10 miles per day give or take (approx. 60 miles total). Altitude varies between 9,000 at Rock Creek to 13,000+ at Forrester Pass. I plan to arrive in Lone Pine on the 20th, pick up the permit, shuttle cars to Onion Valley and then back to Horseshoe Meadows to camp out that night. Early on the 21st, we'd start hiking. This hikes goes through some of the most rugged portions of the PCT and JMT.
 = Yes,  = Maybe
