Two days in. The long way in, going a ways north of the very boring section of the JMT to get nice views
of what I would call the Clouds Rest "massif" and dropping into Echo Valley from the high trail, avoiding the
Bunnell Avalanche and switchbacks (did those last yr). Gave us lots of time to enjoy and go check out the
HSC and Ranger Cabin near Merced Lake.
Day 3 we dropped down into the canyon from the high trail at the Bunnell bridges and camped in LYV after exploring the
north side (another spot where the trail location is not located for views).
