Backpack to Yosemite's Ostrander Lake
July 31-August 1, 2010
Let's head up the other side of the valley, out Glacier Point Road, and trek in to Ostrander Lake. This easier trip is just 6 miles each day. We'll be hiking through the forested Bridalveil Creek area as we hike out to our campsite in the woods. There is about 1500 feet of elevation gain to make sure we burn some calories, and we'll be starting from an elevation of approximately 7000 feet.
This is a great trip for novice backpackers who are trying to get more experience or anyone looking for a relaxing weekend in the woods.
You can meet us either Friday night or Saturday morning. We will car camp at a campsite Friday night, start our backpacking on Saturday morning, and finish in the early afternoon on Sunday.
The Outdoor Adventure Club guides will be cooking up some great meals on the trip. Be ready to eat well as we spend the weekend in the woods, and let us know if you have any dietary considerations. We are happy to accommodate just about any diet.
A thorough trip description will be sent with your confirmation. The details will include when and where to meet, what to bring, and more of what to expect.
