Meet-up Time: 07:30
Sunday - If we start hiking at 10:30, estimate we arrive at the lake between 2:00pm - 2:30pm. Camp sites are close to the lake. I expect most if not all to be empty. Maybe a tour of sites, select one or two, setup camp(s), check out the area, maybe a hike to the pass, explore the trail to Tuhare Lake, chill, eat, sleep.
Monday - Some options. A morning trip or afternoon trip to Tuhare Lakes - 1,K'/RT 1.4mi, return to camp, pack, return to the TH. Or pack, hike towards TH and climb Notch Mountain. We have a choice of stop for eats or drive home.
