Final pack trip of the season

I’ll join a few friends next week for our traditional (well, its been a few years now) final pack trip of the season. At the end of the week we’ll head up to the Tioga Pass area for a first-night car-camping stay. The next morning we hike up to Fletcher Lake at 10,300 – from which just about everyone else has now departed. We attempt a traverse of a high ridge between Fletcher Peak and Parsons Peak, and then return to Tuolumne Meadows on Sunday for a last lunch of the season at Tioga Pass Resort.

Of course, this time of year weather could change everything.
