Needing new 2-3 day Trip suggestions due to fire!

[BigTFlyer]

Hey everyone,

Was looking to do a TM through Cathedrial Lakes and Sunrise lakes down to the valley, but due to the fire, it looks like those will be closed for a while (looking to go Oct. 10th-12th).

Trying to scramble up a great 3 day- 2 night hike for me and my buddies who have never been to Yosemite. Do you guys have any suggestions of area's that are great this time of year that aren't effected by the fire?

Thanks for all the help!

Sure. Anything east of the fire is going to be smoky, so I would look at Ten Lakes Basin or Illilouette Canyon out of Mono Meadows.

You could also think about the east side: Twenty Lakes Basin, Walker Lake up to Sardine Lakes and Mono Pass, Rush Creek up the Thousand Island Lake...

All of those are also on our website, if you want more info or photos.
