Kings Canyon Backpacking - 4 day trip recs?
Posted: Wed Jul 27, 2011 3:52 pm
Three friends and I are heading to Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Parks for a four day, three night backpacking trip (8/4-8/7). We would be open to driving down from San Francisco late Wednesday night or very early Thursday morning to get on the trail as early as possible on Thursday 8/4.
We are moderately experienced backpackers (probably level 2-3) but have never been to Sequoia or Kings before (we’ve done more packing in Yosemite and Desolation Wilderness). We would like to do about 8-12 miles a day (depending on how steep the trail is) and would prefer a loop to an out-and-back. We'd also like to avoid too much snow, if possible.
Does anyone have any trail / route recommendations?
Thanks!
