Hi, I was wondering if anyone could weigh in on this plan for 2 nights at the end of September.
Day 1: Agnew Meadows to Thousand Island Lake via High Trail/PCT (9.7 miles, 1714ft gain/280ft descent)
Day 2: Thousand Island Lake to Ediza Lake via JMT (7.4 miles, elevation change??)
Day 3: Ediza to Agnew Meadows via Shadow Creek/River Trail (7.4 miles, 260ft ascent, 1225 ft descent)
Questions:
1. End of September an okay time to go? Better than last week of July?
2. Distances, elevations look correct?
3. Is this too much for a first-time backpacker?
4. I'd get a permit for the High Trail, since that's where we'd start, right?
Thanks for your input.
