On August 2-10, 1995, myself and Gil Beilke backpacked in the Hoover Wilderness from Leavitt Meadow to the Dorothy Lake area which we explored. We took highway 108 to the Leavitt Meadow road.
The hike starts out at the Leavitt Meadow roadhead and proceeds along the Walker River past Roosevelt Lake and side trails to numberous other lakes. We camped the first night in the lower Piute Creek area. Map at end of page. This is August and there had been a heavy snow winter so there was lots of snow around and ice in the lakes.
