Backpack Atop Sawmill Pass
At 11,347 ft., Sawmill Pass lies on the Sierra Crest and enters Kings Canyon National Park in the Woods Creek area. Both the John Muir Trail (JMT) and the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) can be accessed through this pass.
The Sawmill Pass trail is a steep and arduous climb, gaining over 6700 feet of elevation to the pass in 10 miles. The trailhead is located right past a Powerhouse just below an ele...
First and Second Lake via Big Pine Creek North Fork
The North Fork of Big Pine Creek is often cited as having the most unbelievable scenery reachable in a single day. And it's hard to disagree.
The Big Pine Creek North Fork trail is just minutes outside of Big Pine off the 395. If going in the winter, access to the trailhead can be closed off, so always be sure to check conditions with the governing agency before going.
From the start, this tr...
Fourth Lake via Big Pine Creek North Fork Trail
From Big Pine, you'll turn onto Crocker St. to head towards the mountains. Once you are about 11 miles down the road you will see a sign and a turnoff on the right for trailhead parking. That is where you are going to want to park if you are staying overnight but you can continue to where the road dead-ends if you are just doing a day hike. There are bear boxes their to store anything extra you...

As the peaks of the Palisades pierce the sky with its craggy span of summits you will find it is as picturesque and dramatic as any in California. Nestled beneath these giant peaks are the glacier scoured basins, namely the largest Palisade Glacier, holding the scenic turquoise waters of Big Pine Lak...
John Muir Trail: Camping at Pinchot Pass
After the mild, but not negligible, 1000 ft ascent into Pinchot Pass, you'll be ready to rinse off the grime and take a rest. There are a few options for lakeside camping along the trail like Twin Lakes and an unnamed lake on the west side of the trail just beyond.This is a cool area because the geology starts changing a little. You'll notice more red in the rock faces as opposed to the relativ...
Keough Hot Springs Creek
...As many of us enjoy a good hot spring to relax in, I think most will agree that it’s even better when it’s free and out in nature. If you decide to have a little bit more of a luxurious hot spring experience, you can continue to take that road about another mile to the Keough Hot Springs camping resort. That’s personally not for me, so I didn't check that out. The two-minute walk from the ga...
