Currently gearing up for my August, 2008 backpack. This year I’ve planned to do the Goodale Pass / Silver Pass loop: start hiking at Lake Edison, go over Goodale Pass to the John Muir Trail, then follow the JMT back over Silver Pass and take the Lake Edison ferry back to the trailhead.
The road going in, starting just beyond Shaver Lake, is aggravatingly narrow. Wouldn’t be so bad except all kinds of large vehicles routinely use it, from delivery trucks to RVs. I usually drive in part way, then car camp up near the top (where I took this photo in 2004, on my way to Evolution Valley.) Then start backpacking the following day.
