Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne

“I'm planning a bp trip from Hetch Hetchy. Does anyone know the correct mileage from HH to Glen Aulin?”

“Welcome to Trail Talk.

Could it be 100 miles?”

“The way the crow flies, a bit over 20 miles from Glen Aulin High Sierra Camp to the backpacker's camp on the WNW side of HH... taking the Canyon trail, more than 30 miles, not accounting for all the elevation gains and losses...

“Anyone know of some good trails starting, perhaps,at the Weaverville trailhead --that would involve a couple days of backpacking?”

“We don't hike here...just #&%!$ and moan about how liberals are screwing up this country.

Try backpacker.com but beware of that communist moderator. He is a silly libbie”

“I went to Glen Aulin last summer, planned on going down hetch hetchy, but got stopped by fires. Had an awesome time detouring and playing around the waterfalls there. Monster storm and amazing sunsets.”

“THere are tons of trails outta Weaverville. I did an out and back to Bear Lakes a couple of years ago for four nights, camping a different lakes in the basin. It was awesome and the trout wouldn't stay off my hook. A deer ate my wife's favorite hat.”
