Snow camping in Sequoia and Kings Canyon

How far and high do you want to go? I have enjoyed the Lake & Hump Trail from the parking lot at the end of Wolverton Road to Moose Lake and back down. It’s about 8 miles in and 3,300′ up. You can also stop at Pear Lake about 1/2 way in and 2,300′ up. And places in between.

If you can use skis you will have a much better time and move a lot faster, especially coming back down. And use the skis and poles for tent stakes.

I spent a new years camping in Kings Canyon. Ended up with the worst case of poison oak I ever had. Spent a week in the hospital with my face swollen up and squinting out of 1 eye.

Thanks
will try to avoid it!
Black Dimond skis have been on my todo list but haven’t tried it yet with a heavy backpack

Poison oak will lose its leaves in the fall so it’s harder to recognize. It’s just bare vines. I think I got it collecting firewood.

Woe unto he who burns poison oak sticks in a campfire :((((
