TL
Topo and route for today's 13.5 mile, 4000ft gain outing in the Desolation Wilderness.

The tracks are approximate- didn't have my GPS with me today.

Jacks is my 46th peak off of the Tahoe OGUL list.  
I previously summited Dicks on this trip earlier this year.
I last hiked out of the Glen Alpine trailhead on this '06 trip to Mt. Tallac
and I was last the PCT between Lake Aloha and Dicks Pass on last years backpack trip from Echo Lake to Meeks Bay.

The PCT dipped to loop around the southern end of Susie Lake.  There was a couple camping on the lakeshore.  They were the only folks I'd see until the Dicks summit.
