Thanks for the beautiful video. I did an almost identical loop (with probably a bit more trial and error than you seem to have had finding my way over to that wall coming down Puppet Pass!) in late August of 2023 after the huge 2022-23 winter snowfall. Most of it was melted out by the time I got up there except for a twenty-foot-thick snowpack piled up at the Piute Lake headwall. The stream crossings were a bit of an ordeal, including more than a few for temporary streams that don't show up on maps. Still, worth the wet feet for those views!
@taylorbrady1424 you're welcome :) and wow, I bet it was beautiful with the snow and extra water last year. We would have appreciated a few more streams along the way on this trip.
Have you visited Humphreys Basin? What a gorgeous area! Can anybody identify what animals the feather and skull came from?
Well done! Beautiful video capture and narration, Lisa. Thank you for sharing.
@@CarlS100 thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Nice job. Very useful video for trip planning, thank you!
@chrisr2258 thank you and I'm glad it's helpful! Hope you have a good trip if you go. 😀
I am guessing a woodpecker feather. Nicely done video.
@@LucindaMittleman thank you! I will look up woodpecker feathers 😀
Great description of the hike. I love Piute Pass.
@tonyferrari38 thank you! Me too!

Great trip! it looks like it's the Sat. of the Labor day weekend when you departed Desolation lake. I arrived at Desolation lake at 10 AM that day.
@zzww9483 yes! Perhaps we saw each other in that case. 😀 Hope you had a great trip!
Beautiful. You guys are so fortunate. I’ve always wanted to do that loop. But I go solo out of necessity and always nervous about off trail passes…
@kellystevens6464 thanks! Definitely important to be careful, especially when solo.
Well made video of Humphreys basin . The 4 day trip was well planned out!! Barren but beautiful. This were California gets its water 💦!!!😅
@RolandKrastins thank you! Love the moonscape! No trees but lots of tiny plants and flowers. 😀
