Pete Starr has that as Knapsack Route 1, (KR1), Starr's Guide, 1934 at 69-70.? KR 1 starts (SoBo) on the Mono Pass (South) Trail at Second Recess and intersects the Piute Pass Trail up high.? It probably would have been the modern JMT if Little Joe Leconte had been able to get his mules across Gabbott Pass in 1908.? There is a lot more to be said about using (and not using) this route if? serious interest develops as the season comes on.? I? suggest that this is a good instance in which to observe LNT Principle 8.
