If anyone would like to chime in I would greet opinions on some of the options I have drafted up for a Sawtooths backpacking trip 4 days Fri-Mon this July.
Me and my crew and young(ish) and fit and can hike! Plus this trip the mentality of less is more reigns.
Let me give a few sample itineraries, in order of my present preference.
Plan A: Alpine creek lake trail. The ultimate goal being to cross of Snowyside pass and into Flytrip basin. The rational being it is least visited, we want solitude and plenty of fishing options. One of the potential downsides is that it turns cross county more or less once the 3 mile trail comes to an end. The pass may be not be safe to cross.
Plan B: Cramer Lakes trail. This being the classic but likely crowded option. Epic start on the ferry. Out and back. We could first day make a side venture to Alice lake or whatever.
Potential downside is the good camp spots might be taken as we are coming in on the weekend.
Plan C: Loop hike, not sure what. I like loop hikes.
thanks,
