Cross-Country from Guest Lake to Devils Punchbowl: "Two Passes"
Guest Lake, Filly Lake, or if you have the energy to get there, Twin Buck Lakes are good starting points for this cross-country route. WARNING!: Most of this route is easy except the descent from Mt. Hutton/Point 11286 pass to the basin above Little Shot and Big Shot lakes. Only experienced travelers comfortable with Class 2 and 3 terrain, steep talus, and sometimes snow should attempt this descent. The route is particularly hard for backpackers with large awkward packs. Hikers with no packs will have an easier time, but caution is necessary at all times.
