I’m planning a Collegiate Loop clockwise hike, starting at Avalanche Trailhead, and I plan to resupply and overnight at Twin Lakes Village towards the end of my loop.

I’m not wild about hiking the 8 (?) or so miles around the east and north of Twin Lakes to get to the store and lodge, only to retrace my steps the next day to get on the CL East.

Is that what hikers do? Or hop off at Willis Gulch TH and road hike / hitch to TL Village and blow off the last few miles of CL West? Or……???
