The High Sierra Trail - Sequoia National Park to Whitney Portal

The High Sierra Trail leads from Crescent Meadow in Sequoia National Park up the canyon of the Middle Fork of the Kaweah River, crossing the Great Western Divide by the 10,700' pass known as Kaweah Gap. It descends into Big Arroyo, then climbs up to the Chagoopa Plateau, and drops down again into the Kern River Canyon. After running up the bottom of the Kern Canyon, it turns east, climbing parallel to Wallace Creek up to the junction with the John Muir Trail, 49 miles from the starting point. You can then follow the John Muir Trail about 13 more miles to the summit of Mount Whitney and then down to Whitney Portal.

Work began on the High Sierra Trail in 1928, and it was the first Sierra trail built solely for recreational use.

We camped at these campsites during the trip: 9 Mile creek, Hamilton Lake, Big Arroyo, Upper Funston, Tyndall Junction, Guitar Lake, Outpost Camp.
