Pics From King's Canyon

I'll update the story later, but I just wanted to throw some pics up while I had a few free minutes.

Short story - I went to King's Canyon to check out some campsites but never did because there was a giant boulder in the road.
I took some awesome trails and got myself stuck in the snow in the middle of nowhere.
I had fun.

Pine Flat Lake

 

 

Sycamore Springs Road

 

 

 

Peterson Mill Road 

Nice!!

Once the snow melts off give Big Meadows a shot.  It's a ways to drive down into kings canyon but makes a great base station for an extended trip.  The fire lookout tower is close for a side trip.  There is a mild and 4wd trail nearby as well.  Big Meadows creek in the actual meadow as well as down in the canyon is a hoot to fish.  Jenny lake in Jenny lake wilderness is a decent hike that fished well.  While there, hike to the top of mt Mitchell for an absolutely incredible view.

Wow!  Thanks for sharing the beautiful nature pictures RH.

Hell yeah, what a view!  Thanks for sharing D.

Thanks! Yeah, I can't wait to go back. The whole reason I went was to check out a few campsites on King's River, but I didn't even get to see them because there was a giant boulder in the middle of the road to get to them. There were some forest service volunteers trying to move it and I stayed and tried to help for a little over an hour but we barely even budged the boulder, so I left them with my soft shackles and a tow rope and hit Sycamore Springs.

Hell yeah, what a view!  Thanks for sharing D.
