A fall guide to hiking the California mountain range straightforwardly named for its lofty elevation which runs north from Lake Tahoe to the Golden Trout Wilderness, south of Sequoia National Park. It encompasses parts of Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks and several U.S. Forest Service areas, including the Inyo National Forest along the east side. After a fierce winter delayed backpacking season, September (and perhaps the first half of October), might be the best and driest time to hike among the lofty peaks.
Now that the record snowpack has melted, popular trails including portions of the Pacific Crest and John Muir are more accessible than they’ve been all year.
