Camping at Taylor Res. Any good trails?

[YosemiteMatt]

I'm looking for some fair to moderate trails. I will have the wife and kid, so..... I'm looking for a great trail to take from Taylor back towards Buena Vista. The Cotton Wood Pass Auto Bahn just won't cut it this weekend. Any suggestions for a good pass/trail?

Tin Cup to St. Elmo is always nice but as of last weekend, it was still closed.

These two are not really going the direction you want but they are in the area...

I am going to try and post some pics. I hope this works. Thanks for the trail. Amazing!



Fun with glow sticks.




Powdered Donuts. A camping tradition. There is still some residue on her mouth. That is a look of satisfaction.

Checking out the map at Cumberland Pass.

What does this mean? Du bist dumb schise. Nicht gehen sie.

On our way to Hancock Pass.


Detour to Alpine Tunnel.




This Alpine Tunnel was used from 1880 to 1907. Worth the detour! Great lunch spot too.


Near the top of Hancock Pass.
