Hello everyone!

I will be meeting my friends in Vegas May 16th and driving out for 3 days of backpacking 17th-19th. We had a few lake routes in the Eastern Sierra at around 9-11k elevation in mind thinking that the snow would be melted much higher up than usual but after recent storms we're heavily reconsidering to say the least 😅.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a 3 day itinerary that'll still deliver with sweet views and away from crowds at lower elevation? Preferably with access to river or stream water to filter. Thinking anywhere in the East/South Sierra, John Muir, Death Valley, Inyo, Golden Trout neck of the woods. Thanks in advance!

BTW I'm posting similar posts into a few other subs for recommendations in surrounding areas so I apologize if you see this a few times I promise I'm not a bot 🙏

I wasn't originally going to post in this sub because we're preferably looking for routes with access to river or stream water to filter, but I've heard there's a few in the DV. Thanks in advance!
