Itinerary: | |||||||
One Way
We will take the $25 bus from the parking lot to Sunshine Village and walk to Healy Pass and down to Egypt Lake. Egypt Lake is a magical backcountry campground that leads to beautiful dayhikes with few hikers on the trails. The area has it all: lakes, waterfalls, a whistling pass, verdant meadows and moss. The area is absolutely gorgeous. Day 2: Day 3: Day 4: Check out my facebook album of the trip (and the area was socked in by forest fire smoke that week). | |||||||
