Mineral King loop options Late august 4 nights
Hi all! Doing a loop starting and ending at Timber Gap in late august and new to the zone. We have a group of 6-7 of us with a few fishing poles and want to maximize beautiful camp and hang spots after a long day on the trail. I am getting so many mixed signals on distances and beauty so looking for you all to help narrow it down for me!
Option 1:
Night 1 - Eagle Scout creek / Kaweah River
Night 2 - Hamilton Lake (I like the idea of camping and relaxing here it looks beautiful but open to thoughts)
Night 3 - Little or Big Five Lakes - (Anyone have a spot they recommend here?)
Night 4 - Upper Lost Canyon - (Or should I go to Monarch?)
Option 2:
Night 1 - Bearpaw Meadow
Night 2 - [Lower?] Nine Lake Basin - (Have heard good things but is it worth giving up a night at Hamilton?)
Night 3 - Little or Big Five Lakes - (Anyone have a spot they recommend here?)
Night 4 - Upper Lost Canyon - (Or should I go to Monarch?)
