Pioneer Basin – June 28-29, 2025

Pioneer Basin is place that’s been on my hiking to-do list for a few years now. It usually gets put on the back burner when I start thinking about how one has to drop 2000 ft into this basin and then regain it on the hike out. This month, though, I’ve been trying to slowly ramp up the difficulty of my backpacking trips in preparation for a much harder trip at the end of July, and Pioneer Basin definitely fit the bill, clocking in at a roundtrip 18.5 miles and 4600 ft of gain.
