Humphrey's Basin Base Camp

Join Carole Latimer on this Gourmet Hiker's Trip!

Pack animals carry our gear into our High Sierra camp near gorgeous Humphrey's Basin. This is a base camp trip, which means we're going to make a base camp and stay in the same camp for every night of our trip. You can make your mountain vacation as challenging or as restful as you wish.

Our day hikes take us to pristine glacier-fed lakes and fragile alpine meadows Humphrey's Basin is a wildly beautiful windswept moonscape dotted with lakes featuring granite sand beaches and surrounded by high peaks. There will be plenty of time to hike, fish, swim or just hang out in camp and read..

Spectacular scenery, wonderful food, camaraderie and good conversation around the campfire.
