Kearsarge Pass / Bubbs Creek / Forester Pass / Bighorn Plateau / Crabtree Meadow / Hitchcock Lakes / Mount Whitney / Trail Crest / Trail Camp / Whitney Portal Kearsarge Pass / Bubbs Creek / Forester Pass / Bighorn Plateau / Crabtree Meadow / Hitchcock Lakes / Mount Whitney / Trail Crest / Trail Camp / Whitney Portal An aggressive, breath-taking traverse – crossing the Sierra Crest, first at Kearsarge Pass, then dropping to Bubbs Creek, then surmounting 13,200 ft. Forester Pass, hiking along the Bighorn Plateau, Crabtree Meadow to Hitchcock Lakes, summiting Mount Whitney, crossing Trail Crest, then spending a night at Trail Camp on the way out to Whitney Portal Point of Interest Description Attempts to summit Mount Whitney draw many people. The majority, attempt this out of Whitney Portal, which does not provide much opportunity to acclimate to the high altitude. It has been reported that out of 30,000 who attempt to summit Mount Whitney, every year, only 10,000 (1/3) succeed. Beginning 50 miles north of Mount Whitney, at Kearsarge Pass, with an additional traverse of 13,200 ft. Forester Pass part way, in route, gives most people a chance to adjust to the altitude and feel reasonably good by the time of reaching Mount Whitney. So this approach, although considerably longer, is very scenic, and provides some time to acclimate. But neither is this a route for the faint-of- heart. The year we did this route, we spent a number of months physically preparing via a number of, “shake-down”, hikes, including San Jacinto and/or San Gorgonio (both in Southern California). Begin Trailhead Kearsarge Pass (Onion Valley, out of Independence, CA) – JM31 https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/inyo/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=20784&actid=51 Elevation / GPS ~8115 ft. End Trailhead Whitney Portal (out of Lone Pine, CA) – max. 25 people can exit via Trail Crest each day (reserve with entry trail) https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/inyo/passes-permits/recreation#Whitney Elevation / GPS ~8000 ft. Reservations? Inyo National Forest https://www.recreation.gov/permits/233262?q=Inyo%20National%20Forest%20- %20Wilderness%20Permits Max Group Size 15 Distances Daily hiking distances were modest (36.53 miles over course of entire week), but each day concluded with seven very worn-out hikers Difficulty/Safety Class 1 – complete route on trails. There is some exposure on the south side of Forester Pass and on portions of the Mount Whitney proper trails. Notes Overview of Route, from top of map to bottom https://caltopo.com/m/9QTN Kearsarge Pass (out of Onion Valley, Independence, CA) https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/inyo/recreation/hiking/recarea/?recid=20784&actid=51 Whitney Portal (out of Lone Pine, CA) https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/inyo/passes-permits/recreation#Whitney Elevation and Mileage Profile: Almost sinister looking group at Onion Valley Trailhead: Everyone enjoying some welcome R&R at the top of Kearsarge Pass: Buff, taking in the awesome view above Bullfrog Lake: Upper Bubbs Creek – we’ll be hiking up that way, tomorrow! And a welcome swim in chilly Bubbs Creek (first night’s camp location) Hiking along Bubbs Creek, the next day, was very pleasant: We found an awesome place to camp: And swim – it was a little swampy, but we didn’t care: The next day, we were rewarded with a grueling ascent up, 13,200 ft. Forester Pass: Mad Dog’s comment (paraphrased) was, NTF isn’t going to like this – he was right – looking down the South, almost sheer drop off of Forester Pass – well, can be thankful there wasn’t any snow / ice on the trail! But the view was astounding: Off in the distance, the huge McNally Fire burns, filling the Kern River gorge with smoke, producing massive amounts of smoke that will be more pervasive on later pictures in this trek report: Looking back up at Forester Pass – how did we ever come down that? As we continue to hike, a number of prominent peaks along the Great Western Divide come into view: And the first view of massive, Mount Whitney – from a vantage point that is different than most stock photos: Hiking along the Bighorn Plateau (marmotville): And every day, Psycho has something new, up his sleeve: Guitar Lake – really does look like one: Camp shenanigans: Note the smoke, now very thick – mucking up the otherwise, stellar mountain air: Camp, near Hitchcock Lakes – a great launching point for tomorrow’s run (more like crawl) up Whitney: The next day, it really wasn’t too bad a climb (as we thought) and in good time we were almost to the top of the mountain – looking back down to the area where we just camped: On top of the world (quite literally, our known world): That same night, near Trail Camp: We were entertained by a very aggressive marmot: This may have been the same one that stole a complete Mountain House meal out of my bear canister Psycho tells him where to go and how quickly to get there: The first tree we came to, on the way out: Parting shot at the portal – looks like that marmot followed Psycho out! .

Rodney Glisan participated as a leader on some of these events. As many as 30 people participated on these hikes. They usually travelled by train to the vicinity of the trailhead, and then took motor coaches or private cars for the remainder of the way. Of the four hikes that are recorded Mount Saint Helens was the first climb undertaken by the Club. On the Beacon Rock hike Lower Hardy Falls on the nearby Hamilton Mountain trail were rechristened Rodney Falls in honor of the "mountaineer" Rodney Glisan.

  • Backpack Trip Because It Involves Coordinating with More Agencies and Resources (Camping, Ferry, Island Transportation)
    Backpack Catalina Distance: About 7 miles Trailhead: Avalon Permit Limit: unlimited Difficulty: Easy (rated 2) Features: Backpacking on Catalina Island is a classic Scout adventure. It requires a lot more planning than your typical Sierra backpack trip because it involves coordinating with more agencies and resources (camping, ferry, island transportation). Still, a great beginner trip can be planned, along with pleasant day hikes or beach time, and Avalon is a fun town for apres-hike souvenirs and dinner. FYI: The new Trans-Catalina Trail that runs the length of the island is really steep and rugged, so keep that in mind if you plan to utilize that trail. Additionally: Fuel can’t be transported on the ferry. Reserve your camp stoves and propane fuel from the Catalina Island Company. The ranger will deliver stoves, fuel, firewood and any other gear you need (and they provide) right to your campsite. Good Beginning Itinerary: Catalina Express ferry service Dana Point to Avalon; Airport Shuttle to B. J. TH Backpack 1.5 m to Black Jack Campground Day hike the Trans Catalina Trail; another night at Black Jack Backpack to Little Harbor via the Cottonwood Trail (5+ miles) or the TCT (7+ miles) Safari Bus to Avalon. Ferry from Avalon to Dana Point; drive home Important Phone Numbers Catalina Island Medical Center Hospital: 310-510-0700 100 Falls Canyon Road in Avalon In an emergency: Sheriff 310-510-0174 911 - call may go to Catalina Island or L.A.; indicate you’re on Catalina Island; GPS coordinates will be recorded Cell phone service @ Blackjack is great; okay at Little Harbor, but excellent from surrounding ridges Resources: Catalina Island Camping: 310-510-8368, M - F, 8 a.m.
