4-5 day Backpack
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
Myself and two friends did a trip in July where we hiked from Tenaya Lake to Sunrise, camped at the uppermost lake, then from there hiked to Halfdome via Clouds Rest the next day.
We camped in the trees near the shoulder of Halfdome that night and then hiked to the top the next morning, then back down to the Valley.
It was amazing!
I'd like to do a longer trip next season and maybe get in some fishing along the way and was considering the Glen Aulin passthrough (to White Wolf) at first. The other option I'm considering is more complicated. After viewing the awesome photos we took of Mt. Clark from the last trip, the Clark Range and Red Peak Pass seem like a neat trip.
There are several ways to do it, I'm thinking of either Mono meadow to Red Peak Pass and down the Merced River to the Valley—getting in Halfdome on the way again. Or, basically doing most of the same route but starting at Chiquito Pass trailhead—this would mean leaving a car at both the Chiquito Pass trailhead and in the Valley.
The logistics of this one are probably the most difficult thing about it.
Can we do it in 4-5 days?
Anyone ever done it and/or have any suggestions?![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
