Goodale creek is a tough way up too. Pretty neat in there though. Thanks for the TR, I really enjoyed the read.

Last Time I was in Tuolumne I came across several Marmots, all had tats, inappropriate piercings and behaved like they were on drugs.

They are probably looking to take over the Merriam Peak turf.....It will only get worse.

Another tough method for a weekend hike:
Drive up to the eastside on a Saturday July 4 weekend.
Go to ranger stn and find out what permits are left.
Start hiking up Taboose Pass about 11am, temperature in the 90s.
2 days later come down the Sawmill trail.
You are now about 15 miles from your car.

Man I love Pine Ck and all its tributaries!

Only thing for you now - solo Mt. Banard pillar, via George Ck, c2c.

Remember, it's closed except for the last 2 weeks in December; Bighorn Zoological Area. Although they can't read the maps too well and sometimes get lost.

Edit:
Goodale creek is a tough way up too. Pretty neat in there though

Ah, you beat me to the punch. I'm ashamed to admit that 4 hours attempting to reach the snowline with the skies netted about 1 mile or 2.

Great write up. I remember Steve from when I worked with Trevor at the gear exchange, a good dude. Doesn't blink much, though.

Nope, I never worked at Gear Exchange. I did hang out there some, but only if Emma was working...

The Pine Creek trail is the most brutal trail in the whole eastern Sierra.

Done it twice. I thought I was just having a low energy day. Thanks again for a good read.
