Horseshoe Meadow Backpack
On this 3rd Philmont preparation backpack we will drive up to the Horseshoe Meadow trail camp near Lone Pine on Friday, July 16. We will spend the afternoon and evening there to become acclimated to the 10,000ft elevation and begin our backpack early Saturday morning. Our route will take us South to connect with the famous Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and then about 7.5 miles to Chicken Springs Lake where we will camp for Saturday night. We will pump/purify water from the lake, cook our dinner there at Chicken Springs Lake and camp for the night. Sunday morning, we will have an early breakfast in camp, then head back to Horseshoe Meadow by retracing our path along the PCT having lunch on the trail, and back through Mulkey Pass. We will plan to get dinner Sunday on our drive home. Need to bring extra money for snack on the trip up Friday morning and dinner on the way back Sunday night.
