High Sierra Trail, Sequoia-Kings Canyon National Park, California (#PC0007)
The High Sierra Trail starts among the giant sequoias on the middle elevations of the western slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It climbs through the breathtaking backcountry of Sequoia National Park to eventually join the Pacific Crest Trail near Mt. Whitney which, at 14,490 feet, is the highest point in the contiguous United States. I once hiked the length of the High Sierra Trail, and then picked up the P.C.T. and hiked it north through the John Muir and Ansel Adams Wilderness Areas - to the Tuolumne River in the backcountry of Yosemite National Park. It was a trek along a 150-mile-long mountain wall, unbroken by any roads.
