I would probably try and go Alpine Col and down Paiute canyon
Darwin bench is beautiful. Evolution valley is boring so you wouldn't be missing anything.
Just depends on the snow in the Cold.

I would have preferred something like Sidewinders. Would have been a cooler

Just guessing, but over 20 miles it feels like I climb about 4,000' and descend about 4,000.

Almost to the Sierra. Still a decent amount of snow. I'm nervous for July 1st, can't imagine doing it in May/June.

Good luck. You'll be fine by then. It is melting fast. I was up in Mammoth last

The South Fork of the San Joaquin bridge was destroyed last Spring. That is where I am super nervous.

Which detour are you thinking Mozey? Paiute and Bishop pass?
TheLoneCougar
May 18, 8:28pm
Exactly. PCTA is recommending a detour to the east using Bishop and Piute Passes. I have not looked at the details yet

Saw on my FarOut app where someone tried to cross downstream from the bridge a couple days ago.

Wow, they tried to ford it this early in the season?! I've got FarOut for the JMT which I think is the same as you are
