2022 Yosemite BP Trip: Oct 2-7; Seavey Pass-Benson Pass Matterhorn Canyon semi-loop

I have a four-person permit for backpacking the route mentioned in the title. If you already have Jeffrey P. Schaffer's book, "Your Complete Hiking Guide Yosemite National Park, then you can find this trip starting on page 108. The hike is somewhere between 51 and 54 miles, depending what sources you consult. Campsites are as follows...
  • Peeler Lake
    Benson Lake
    Smedburg Lake
    Lower Matterhorn Canyon
    Robinson Lakes
Mileage will vary between 4.5 to 12.9 miles a day, depending on day. I hope to do a bit of flyfishing if allowed. This is not going to be a death march type of bp trip, but rather a trip where you can take as little or as much time each day to reach each campsite.

Cheers!
