Take a closer look at the logistics for this one. The hike is 50+ miles but the distance between North and South Lakes is pretty close - just a few miles. My wife and I are doing the same hike in mid-July. We're going to drop my truck at North Lake and hitchhike over to the Bishop Pass trailhead at South Lake.
