Baxter Pass Trail - 2020
Inyo National Forest, California
Took a short hike on the Baxter Pass Trail (I round tripped about 6 miles). It's considered one of the "down" passes by most, and I can't say I disagree.
The Baxter Pass Trail provides access to the John Muir Wilderness. It climbs more than 6,000 feet to Baxter Pass, on the Sierra Crest. The trail continues into Kings Canyon National Park, where it joins the John Muir Trail. Baxter Pass Trail is steep and rugged. In some places it is difficult to locate. It is not recommended for stock.
Common Destinations: Baxter Lake, Dollar Lake, Arrowhead Lake, John Muir Trail.
