[pct-l] Resupply at Red's Meadow

[Josephine Pegrum Hazelett]

Lee, thank you-this is exactly the info I was looking for. VVR requires a 15 mile roundtrip detour, plus boat ride, which is why I'm leaning toward Red's Meadow, where the route passes, but at $35 and $1 a day, it's a bit steep! Still, considering the volume of requests they have, it doesn't seem too unreasonable. I enjoyed the spring fed showers at Reds meadow when I hiked the JMT and PCT, and that is definitely a draw! Can't wait!

You can also take advantage of the cafe next door and the hot springs-fed showers at the campground nearby.  As for preference for VVR or Red's Meadow, I would go by whichever is closer to your route.  But if you need fuel or other supplies, other than food, VVR might be a better resource.  Have a great adventure,

Does anyone know if a food pick up there requires one to go in to Mammoth Lakes or can the package be picked up at Reds Meadow proper, and if so where exactly? Thanks
