Itinerary description

This is a wonderful summertime backpacking route, and I highly recommend it. (But be sure to keep your backpack light because are some sections with lots of uphill!) My favorite parts of this hike were: The Lamarck Col, Darwin Bench, Evolution Basin, and Dusy Basin. -That's basically the entire route!! hee hee.
-There is a logistics challenge of arranging a car shuttle from South Lake to North Lake. However, if you don't mind spending some money, you can spend the night before your trip at Parcher's Resort. And when you call to reserve your cabin, you can also make arrangements to have one of the Parchers Resort employees give you a car shuttle to North Lake. (This costs extra money.) But this is worth it for such a memorable trip!
