A 30 mile backpack on trails in Yosemite. Start at White Wolf and end at
Tuolumne Meadows. After descending 3500 feet (net) to the Tuolumne River\,
we follow it upstream for 4200 feet (net) past gushing waterfalls and the
Glen Aulin high sierra camp. Though it's on trail and not at high altitude\,
don't underestimate the difficulty or beauty of this route. A car shuttle
between the two trailheads is required.
This trip is currently scheduled as a 3-day trip\, but I'll accept inquiries
from people who would only be able to do it as a 2-day (very strenuous)
Climb this remote peak in the southern Sierra near Kennedy Meadows. Satday we will backpack from the Black Rock Trail Head at 8\,960' for 8.6 miles with 1500' of gain (with ups and downs) to camp at Redrock Meadows at 8\,626'. Then we will climb class 2 Kern Peak in 11 miles and 2\,884' of gain\, including 6 miles of cross-country. Sunday we will backpack out in 8.6 miles and 1800' of gain (with ups and downs). Note the trail head is 334 feet higher than our camp site. Moderate exertion.Climb this remote peak in the southern Sierra near Kennedy Meadows.

Sunday morning we'll ascend the northwest slope and take time for a leisurely snack on the summit. Ice axes possibly needed.

We’ll hike from Lake Thomas A. Edison (2330 m)\, taking easy trail to Devil’s Bathtub (2794 m) and continuing cross-country to our camp at the diabolical headwaters (3250 m). Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning\, we’ll visit the class 2 summit of Silver Peak (3620 m). Sunday hike out and drive home.

We will car-camp near Ebbetts Pass\, then hike up Noble Canyon to grab the peak. Sunday is open at this point\, with options to perhaps try something else\, do some exploring\, or have a leisurely drive home. This is an area of the Sierra that we don’t often explore\, so the hike should be enjoyable.

Endure the class 2\, loose scree of Humphreys' southwest slope before enjoying the final two short\, roped pitches over solid rock. A half rope-length rappel begins the decent. Required\: climbing harness\, belay/rappel device\, roped climbing experience\, group bear canisters\; also\, a $10 deposit to cover cost of the permit (forfeit if cancel\, difference refunded at trailhead).

Climb Red and White Mtn southeast face. For faster stronger hikers\, an option exists to also climb Red Slate Mtn (13\,163) from McGee Pass. These peaks are very colorful\, great for celebrating our national birthday.

We'll see what people feel like on Sunday\, with perhaps a day hike of Mt Warren\, in roughly the same area but on the east side.
This will be a relatively slow-paced trip and the climbing will be easy\, so it should be appropriate for beginners with a bit of stamina. I won't exclude climbers with experience however. There should be some really neat views from both peaks.

We’ll be doing two day hikes\: on Saturday we’ll meet early at our trailhead to climb the class 2 Amelia Earhart\, one of the lesser known Yosemite peaks. This is a 16 mile round trip. On Sunday we’ll summit Mount Dana\, class 1\, or Toulumne Peak\, class 1. This will be a shorter day\, so participants should be able to head back by late afternoon.
