The Place

Get ready for another "Kick A" retreat back in Sequoia National Park. We are camping at Dorst Campground. Both hikes will be awesome. I've picked a later date in summer to reach some higher altitudes and "knock your socks off" views of the great western divide. Get there Thursday night if possible.

Getting There

Directions: From San Jose: Drive to Fresno & take 180 to Kings Canyon/Sequoia. Head South to Sequoia National Park
and the Dorst Campground. Limit is 40 people so sign up early. Try to carpool to save on the Park entrance fee.
Drive Time 5 Hours - Camping $10, $20 to enter park- Dogs Not Allowed

Walking the Walk

Friday we'll be hiking on the High Sierra Trail with viewgasms of the Great Western Divide. Saturday we will hike past the watchtower with a 2,000 foot drop. We will pass three high elevation lakes on the same trail. Hikes will start early so don't plan on driving up and going on a hike.

Friday Hike: Level: 3- Miles: 9. - Elevation 800'
Sat. Hike: Level: 4- Miles: 11 - Elevation 2500' - Host: Tom D.
