Lizzy, thank you very much for the route details.? I was in the same area just two weeks or so after you were!

?

One thing I noted is that you dropped down to Post Corral and Long Meadows and then climbed back up to Burnt Corral Meadow (and on to Thompson Pass), a drop and gain of about 1500’.? The maps suggest the Reddy’s Hole Trail (28E30) stays high.? Do you (or anyone else here) know anything about that route?? The only point of reference I have is my ancient (1975) Wilderness Press High Sierra Hiking Guide #3 Blackcap Mtn by Thomas Winnett and Ed Roberts.? That’s one of those easily carried 4” x 6” books that WP put out back then.? It show that route as cross-country, although describes it as “frequently used by packers” and “is easily followed.” ?The map in the book puts it a little north of the route on today’s maps.? It would seem something happened sometime in the last 50 years or so to create a trail that is worthy of a USFS number.? But that’s way too little information to build a re-route on.
