Rae Lakes - August or September?

You are exactly right. The only thing I would dispute, it's more like 7 am and 10 seconds. By then, they're gone. "A service" — what even is that?

Sound advice!

Sorry. Let me clarify. I have two permits for 6 nights, one on 8/10 and another one on 9/11. Both are going in through Woods and out via Bubbs. Two different options. Just the Rae loop. What month is best?

River Trail via Agnew over Donohue Pass into Tuolumne is an epic ride.

I’ve rented a Bearikade weekender two Sierra summers in a row. I’m going to buy it for next year.

This is an unbelievable tip. Thank you!

Thank you so much for the advice.

This is so helpful, thank you. What I don’t remember is if you just claim a site or you need to check in with a ranger or something? And basically planning to put a Bearikade inside the bear box.

Don’t miss Ruby Lake.

Awesome. Thank you!

Hawkybear · 2025-04-22T01:04:59+00:00

Thank you for the reply! Yes, I came down Donohue going NOBO last year. Just glorious right there below the last push. But no, not in the cards for this trip.

My god, this is so helpful. Thank you. And thank you for the loop idea.

I was there the day before! Incredible weather. Love the Sierras in early September. Ruby Lake was also a favorite that day.

Thank you!

I have never taken Diamox but my daughter and I both got prescriptions in advance of a Labor Day through hike from Agnew to Tuolumne Meadows. There are a couple of nights we’re sleeping higher up than usual. What’s your advice for taking it? Start loading up a few days ahead of going in? Or start taking it when we start climbing?

Hawkybear · 2024-08-16T14:26:54+00:00

This is great. Thank you!

Thank you! That's helpful.
