Planning a 4-week section hike from Mt. Shasta to Tehachapi. Looking for advice on snow expectations, water sources this dry season, and how to handle the new permit lottery system. Anyone done this window recently?
Debating between the Osprey Atmos 55 and Gregory Baltoro 55. I prioritize ventilation and hip belt comfort over ultralight weight. Have tested both on day hikes but need real multi-day feedback. What’s your experience?
Chasing sunset shots at Reflection Lake and Sunrise area. The clouds have been cooperating lately. What focal lengths are you using? Any tips for managing the wind and keeping the tripod stable?
Organizing a casual 2-day trip for beginners/intermediate. Pace will be relaxed, focus on camp skills and trail etiquette. Meeting at 7AM Discovery Park. All gear rentals welcome! Comment if interested.
