March Trip to California

   3/16/2017 - Kennedy Meadows & The PCT   
Back to the north! 
The road to get here, 9 Mile Canyon Road, actually runs directly west from where we travelled by the lava flow on the 11th.

   1st stop • Kennedy Meadows   
For years as my family would travel north and south to get to or from the Sierra, we would pass this road and whenever I would ask, dad would say he didn't think there was anything worthwhile up there.  Then one time Phil Toma and I were driving around and decided to try it.  The very next opportunity I took dad up there and now he wants to go all the time.  Lots of hiking, OHV, and biking trails.  And camping.  Southern end of the Sequoia National Forest.  Try it sometime.  You'll like it!

   2nd stop • PCT - Pacific Crest Trail   
The PCT runs north and south through this area.  I chose to hike to the bridge, almost 2 miles north of the campground.  It was a relatively easy hike.  The elevation was about 6,200ft, so I didnt have too many issues breathing.  And the fact that the temperature was cooler helped.
