Finally got our dates and permits set for a 4 day backpacking trip starting at the Cathedral Lakes Trailhead at TM. What I am wanting to do is leave the day before to settle down...aclimate...etc and get an early start on the hike the next morning. Since I start my hike on a Sunday, June 28th there is no chance of me finding a campsite available at TM for the day before.
I would like to stay nearby within walking distance since I plan to leave me car in the valley floor and take the shuttle up to TM on Saturday. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Gabe
