June 1st, 2009 I was denied this Pass in California. Snow was still too deep on the trail.
July 7th, 2012 it was a dream.
Here’s the view looking over the top over into Kings Canyon National Park.
I left a Summit Stone in this rock formation, a short scramble from Kearsarge.
Onion Valley to Kearsarge is one of the most popular day hikes in the Eastern Sierra. You can start high, driving up to over 9000ft.
Gorgeous climate. Perfect weather day-after-day. No bugs. Excellent footing. The Eastern Sierra truly is one of the best hiking destinations in the world. 🙂
