Sequoia & Kings Canyon, CA

This trail is a popular route into the backcountry. Some use it as a one-way passage to Mount Whitney. The trail gets a lot of sun, so begin early in the day. From the parking area, head out on a paved trail to the south (straight), over several bridges, and to a junction. Turn right onto the High Sierra Trail. You will pass Eagle View, the Wolverton Cutoff, and Panther Creek. Hike at least 3 miles before setting up camp. For $250 double (meals included), a civilized lodging option is the 11-mile hike to the Bearpaw High Sierra Camp (tel. 559/565-4070; www.visitsequoia.com) from Crescent Meadow.
