I'm hiking/climbing Mt. Russell next week via the North Fork of Lone Pine Creek.
Can anyone here describe the trail conditions and how cross-able the North Fork of Lone Pine Creek is or should be?
Our permit is for overnight and I plan to camp between Mt. Whitney and Mt. Russell below the Mountaineers' Route and over the notch between these peaks... above Upper Boy Scout Lake and the unnamed lakes above it.
This is my third time up this route, although the previous hikes have been during the California drought and we used the Russell-Carillon Pass.
