Re: Mt Whitney west side switchbacks in mid-July this year and best guesses for JMT NOBO conditions in July-August.
I submitted Whitney on July 4th 2022 from west at the end of my HST. No snow at all. But that was after a draught year though. [email protected]> wrote:

I am on the PCT this year, just now in Ridgecrest for a town day and will be back on trail at Walker Pass tomorrow. Whitney in 2nd week of June, can tell you more when I'll be in Bishop. I would

Mt Whitney west side switchbacks in mid-July this year and best guesses for JMT NOBO conditions in July-August.

Re: Current backpacking & camping conditions between sunrise camp and reds meadow campground on JMT
I hiked to sunrise high Sierra camp on Memorial Day weekend 2011. Hit snow between 8000–9000 feet and did the hike on snowshoes. The JMT route was a little too steep in places, so just did a cross

Re: Current backpacking & camping conditions between sunrise camp and reds meadow campground on JMT
Now? Tioga Road isn't even open, so that should give you an idea. It's only May and hiking season generally starts in earnest in July. Early season is June and some hikers will start going out and

Re: Current backpacking & camping conditions between sunrise camp and reds meadow campground on JMT
When are you starting your hike? Won’t be many people on trail right now, so you’re unlikely to get a current trail report. You’ll have better luck when early season hikers start in June.

Current backpacking & camping conditions between sunrise camp and reds meadow campground on JMT
I am not experienced and backpacking conditions requiring ice axe (occasional clampons are okay). Can someone update current hiking conditions between LYV and Clouds Rest then to Sunrise camp then

Re: Iva Bell Hot Springs
Hi Jingbo, I did a hike in that area last August. I recommend it as an alternative route. The portion of the JMT between Reds and Duck Lake Outlet isn't that great. Note, as of last August there

Re: Iva Bell Hot Springs
Wonderful Springs!! I write about them in my book "The Trail" Many ways to visit them: From Reds Meadow you take the Rainbow Falls trailhead instead of the JMT and it's 13 miles to the hotsprings.

Re: Iva Bell Hot Springs
Thank you. From CalTopo map it looks like we should have lots of creek crossings all the way from IB to Lone Indian Lake. [email protected]> wrote:

Yes, we can leave Virginia Lake and Tully Hole to future trips, or Iva Bell for that matter :-) depending on the dynamics and vibes. [email protected]> wrote:

I did that route NOBO in 2021. The section between Reds and Iva Belle is often traveled and well maintained.? The section between Iva Belle and the intersection with the JMT near Tully Hole is much
