I wonder how much shorter the Commonwealth is?

Ive done it, I just didn't remember. They created the newer trail to get out of the valley, and out of the snow earlier in the year.

Wow, that's a nasty road! I always assumed it was in about the same shape as any of the other dirt roads in the area. There's no way I could ride that with 33s. Thanks for the report!

I looked over the ridge to see if there was a good route from the pct to Kendall lakes a few months ago. I went over right between the L and D in Wilderness on Toms map above. There was a boot path on the pct side. No sign of one on the Kendall side. I did not go down far. It looked like pretty easy side hilling over to the knob above the upper lake. Again, I did not go far but could see about 300 yards. Open hillside gave way to scattered trees.

I was up at the lakes yesterday and the access road is washed out at the bridge over the creek about 1/2 mile before the previous parking area. You now start close to the freeway interchange. Big thanks to whoever brushed out the road. It made riding a bike up there much, much easier. I didn't have a chance to try the PCT cutoff but will do that next time. ~Slim
