Fly into Sacramento Saturday, grab permits and bear cans, and camp near the trailhead. Sunday we drop 3,500 feet into Pate Valley. Monday and Tuesday we climb back up the Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne past three waterfalls to Glen Aulin. Wednesday we walk out to the cars.
Sacramento in, up to the meadows, down into Pate Valley, then back up the canyon to Glen Aulin and out. Click a marker for details. Backcountry pins are approximate.
Route line computed from OpenStreetMap trail data; elevations from Open-Meteo. Neither AllTrails nor onX offers a public API, so: the GPX button downloads our exact route to import into onX Backcountry, Gaia, Garmin, or CalTopo (onX: My Content > Import on their web map), and the other buttons open their trail pages.
Distances and elevation straight off the crew's planning sheet.
One night by the cars, three nights out.
Straight from the crew sheet. Pick your name (top bar) and your checkmarks follow you to any device — everyone can see who's actually packed. Nights at Glen Aulin have hit 7°F this week historically, so take the 30° bag seriously.
Pods are 4–5 dudes. One of each item per pod — don't all bring a stove.
The plan as written on the crew sheet.
Add anything you pay for. Everything splits 9 ways automatically and the bottom shows exactly who pays whom. Shared live — everyone sees the same list.
Everybody's in.
Anyone can upload — every photo shows who shot it. During the trip the wall defaults to today, and the slideshow plays that day's photos. New photos show up for everyone within a minute.
