Description

Here is some more information on the trip. I was thinking of starting at Lakeview Drive and heading to Campsite 76 on Friday, going from 76 to Campsite 86 on Saturday, and on Sunday going from 86 to Fontana Dam. I am open to changing sites if we need to meet people�s schedules or to reverse the hike and go from Fontana to Lakeview Drive.
