trips - Dusy and Palisade BasinsTrip Info
DescriptionHey all, I'm planning a trip to Dusy and Palisade Basins via Bishop Pass. I secured a permit for 4 people. So far confirmed are myself and my friend Cris (justdropin'). Anybody else want to come with? This is another beautiful area of the Sierra where I haven't not been yet though I lived near South Lake when I was young. Now I live in So. Cal and am willing to carpool with anyone from the Southland. Here's the plan... Drive up to Bishop on Sunday and Sunday night camp at 4 Jeffrey Campground to help get acclimated Monday Day 1 hike from South Lake TH 9,820' to Ruwau Lake 11044' in about 4 miles - if we're up to it we can also climb Chocolate Peak 11682' Tuesday Day 2 hike from Ruwau lake over Bishop Pass 11,972' and then down into Dusy Basin elevation approx 11,000', there's lots of lakes so we'll just choose one that looks good to set up camp for 1 or 2 nights, 7 miles or so this second day Wednesday Day 3 we can either dayhike over Knapsack Pass 11,800' into Palisade Basin and then come back into Dusy for the night... or we can carry our full packs and camp in Palisade Basin. Mileage will be about 4 miles one way, cross country, to get from Dusy to Palisade Basin. Thursday Day 4 head back over Bishop Pass and pick a lake, maybe Saddlerock Lake, to camp at.. Alternative if we're up to it is to cross the pass between Margaret and Treasure Lakes and camp at Treasure Lakes that night. Friday Day 5 hike out to TH
 = Yes,  = Maybe
