Friends,
I am planning to return to NY over Labor Day (from Kansas) and will have one or two days to hike. I was wondering if I should hike the Santanonis or Skylight/Gray. In deciding which to do, I was wondering which was easier, and if doing Skylight/Gray, which trailhead to use. By and large, my pace is about on track with the McMartin Books, but I'd be especially interested in advise and relative times for the three options from those who have done these hike using various routes.
Which takes the least time- based on projected on traditional September conditions, Santanonis, Skylight/Gray from the Loj or Skylight/Gray from UW?
I've never hike from UW and would appreciate any advise for this or subsequent treks to Allen/Cliff/Redfield/marshall etc.
As always, I appreciate the help.
