I am looking for a way to cut down the 11.7 Mile day – Day 5.  The problem as I see it is the no camping in the Shoe Lake Basin – The map does not indicate any reasonably reliable water source after the Shoe Lake. One way around this might be to eat dinner at Shoe Lake and move to about 4 miles to a camp site after dinner.
