You did a lot of amazing hikes in the Tioga Pass area. Very impressive!
It was great to finally meet you and Kathy!! Thank you again for telling us to check out the Tioga Pass area--now I have loads of hikes to go back to, and many just in the Saddlebag Lake and nearby area.
Good to see the photo looking up towards Conness of the snow fields. We missed the turnoff to the lakes because we were distracted by what we thought at the time were hummingbirds, until an email exchange with Beardilocks clarified that they're almost certainly hummingbird moths. We probably would have hit quite a bit of snow if we'd done that, so the 20 Lakes route definitely looks like it was a better choice for us.
