The backpacks are loaded, and we're ready to make our attempt around Thousand Island and Garnet Lakes at the base of two huge mountains, Mt. Ritter and Banner Peak. The photo shows our approximate trail route, but there is much snow still remaining this year around the lakes. If it gets sketchy, we are prepared to turn back at any point.
If we are fortunate, we will travel 20 miles around the loop and gain 2,200 feet in elevation along the way. The weather appears to be in our favor with mostly sunny skies.
Expect our next post sometime on Thursday.
