Men's Backpacking Sierra Trip
Men's Backpacking Sierra Trip
Arrive at Intake 2 Campground. If the campground is closed or full, the first group to arrive needs to message the rest via this WhatsApp group and find an alternate site (either Forks Campground, Four Jeffrey Campground, Bishop Park Campground or Willow Campground). Whoever arrives first, grab an area with space for 4-6 tents and 4 cars.
Morning: Have a casual breakfast and early morning fishing at the campground (based on how late people get in, there may be a range of when folks wake up).
Mid-morning: Drive to the South Lake parking lot and the Bishop Pass Trailhead. Target starting our hike around 10am.
Noon Lunch: Arrive at Long Lake and eat lunch. Do the 1st Bible Reading as a group.
Afternoon: Hike the additional mile up to Timberline Tarns and find our group campsite.
5pm Dinner: Have dinner, with the goal of eating and cleaning up prior to it getting dark (as not to tempt the bears too much). We’ll do the 2nd and 3rd readings over dinner.
8pm or so: Evening devotion/discussion.
Sunrise: this is the best time to fish - hit the lakes at first light!
Breakfast: We’ll do the first reading together over breakfast.
Morning: Break out for fishing, hiking Bishop Pass, Dusy Basin, scrambling Cloud Ripper, rock climbing, etc.
Noon Lunch: Unless your chosen activity will take all day, let’s try to all regroup for lunch at camp where we’ll eat together and do the second reading.
Afternoon: More of what happened in the morning!
5pm Dinner: Back at camp, we’ll eat and do the third reading.
8pm or so: Evening devotion/discussion.
