We went in Todie a few years back. The rangers highly discouraged us but we went ahead and did find an entry - not an easy scramble but doable for even flatlanders from Houston. In fact, we spotted a ranger following us back in the distance - I guess making sure we knew what we were doing. Our...
Toxaway Alice was my first trip to the Sawtooths - quite a few years ago. Last year we did Redfish to Toxaway thenn around to Alice and out. Not the snow you showed as it was in August. Did try to do it a couple years ago in mid August and there was too much snow for a flat lander from...

Wed: Cramer Lakes to Lake Edna
Thurs: Lake Edna to Lake Alice via...

White Clouds Peaks Loop - 28.4 mi rated as "hard"
Imogene Lake to Toxaway Lake loop 27 or so miles rated as "moderate"
Redfish Lake to...
Wanted to do a SW backpacking trip in mid October but with all kinds of scheduling problems won't work till Nov 11-16. Was thinking about Coyote Gulch Escalante. Would mid Nov be too late? Any other suggestions? Also thinking about Grand Gulch on Cedar Mesa. Looking for 20 or so miles not...
Four of us from the Houston Texas area did a lollipop loop hike in the Rawah wilderness this past week. We spent 3 days and 3 nights on the trail using the West Branch Trail connecting to the Rawah Trail over Grassy Pass to the north loop of the Sandbar Lakes Trail on to the Camp Lake Trail...
