Kearsarge Pass Trail - May 2020
Inyo National Forest, California
First "hike" of the season, made it to Little Pothole for snack time before turning around.
Beginning at Onion Valley, the Kearsarge Pass Trail travels through the John Muir Wilderness. The trail climbs through forest and alpine tundra and past several lakes, including Little Pothole, Gilbert, and Flower Lakes. It is 4 miles to the top of 11,700-foot Kearsarge Pass. Beyond the pass, the trail continues into Kings Canyon National Park, where it joins the John Muir Trail near Bullfrog Lake. From the trailhead at Onion Valley to the John Muir Trail junction is 6.5 miles.
