Great suggestions, Steve, thanks. I had worked out the whole trip as a thru hike using busses, shuttle services, a train, and a flight...no driving. I'll see what I can salvage. Rae Lakes loop would be new to me....

Hey Steve, do you know if there is a way to get to Road's End by public transport/shuttle? Would be a great way to start an alternative cross-the-Sierra hike, but I am not sure I have a way to get there....
