I know this is a year old, could you guys provide ideas for touring the west side of the Sierra? Everyone hits the East side, but there are some interesting zones on the west 🙏🏻

Hey Matthew! Great question. I'd hit up the folks over at Golden State Guiding directly as most of the Weston crew is based in CO and this is the most in-depth info we have on the Sierra at the moment. The GSG guys are AWESOME and love chatting zones with fellow backcountry travelers.
