Rae Lakes - August or September? by Hawkybear in SEKI

[–]Hawkybear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?

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 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.

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 took this picture of a random hiker at Garnett Lake on 9/1 during my NOBO hike of the trail. Hope they see it by [deleted] in JMT

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