This tour goes through a beautiful section of the John Muir Trail area of the southern Sierra.
Parking is available at both trailheads.
Another option of similar character is to ascend northwest to the 11400' lake just east of Dragon Peak, and pop over the steep pass between Dragon and Gould. From the Raes, follow the John Muir Trail route to Pinchot Pass, taking Camp 2 along the way and Camp 3 around Pinchot. A possible alternative route, instead of the section just south of Pinchot Pass, would be to take White Fork canyon to a pass north of Crater Mtn. The second pass, Colosseum Col, is still open if you want to do a side tour, but without doing Acrodeetes Col, Colosseum isn't really along the way. On the north side of Southfork, contour northwest over a 12000' notch and descend to Finger Lake.
