Jennie Lakes

Jennie Lakes Wilderness is about nine square miles within the Sequoia National Forest. The wilderness is classic high Sierra landscape. Wilderness size is 10,500 acres with a mixture of lakes, mountain peaks, forests, meadows and streams, most of which is above 7,000 feet in elevation. The wilderness contains variations of alpine and sub-alpine forest. Lodgepole Pines, Red and White Firs and White Mountain Pine dominate the area, while Jeffrey Pines and a few juniper are also present. In the summer, wildflowers are common. Jennie Lake sits about 9,000 feet above sea level and Weaver Lake is slightly lower. The summit of Mitchell Peak is the highest point in the wilderness at 10,365 feet and features views of the surrounding area and of Kings Canyon National Park.

Monarch Wilderness Map

Monarch

The Monarch Wilderness offers over 30 miles of trails with sweeping views of Kings Canyon and some classic high Sierra backcountry, as well as descents into the canyon itself. With dramatic elevation changes the vegetation ranges from chaparral and sub-alpine to alpine – covering about every species of tree known in this part of the Sierra, and then transforming into pure granite above the treeline. The remote Monarch Wilderness offers the chance to walk alone among Giant Sequoias and hike up to the isolated and wild Grizzly Lakes area. Above Upper Grizzly Lake you can scramble up the granite and access the spectacular Monarch Divide.

Roaring River Falls
One of the most visited areas of the Sierra Nevada Mountains – Kings Canyon & Sequoia NP sit next door to each other, just south of Yosemite National Park.

Kings Canyon National Park has a deep granite gorge with lower elevations, along the Kings River (the longest river in the Sierra). Plus Kings also has an expansive back-country – accessible only by foot, to High Sierra peaks and many alpine lakes.

On the south side, Sequoia National Park has a higher terrain with a highway skirting the ancient groves, on the west side of the Sierra range.

Sequoia Kings Canyon Maps

CALIFORNIA HWY 198: The Generals Highway is the main paved road that runs the ridge, north to south inside Sequoia National Park.  Since they have named the giant redwood trees after famous military generals, the road name mirrors that theme.

Now-a-days, our ancient and massive trees are fighting for their lives in a new type of war. Wildfires, drought and bark beetle infestations are taking their toll and killing these beauties. They have stood the test of time for thousands of years and withstood fires in the past, but recent blazes are hotter and more destructive than previous.

Kings Canyon Highway 180: A long, scenic, dead end road which descends dramatically into the river canyon. Elevation spans from 6600′ at Grant Grove to 4000′ at Cedar Grove at the end of the paved route.

Golden Trout Maps

National Forest MapsNational Forest USDA makes a paper map for the Golden Trout Wilderness which includes the South Sierra Wilderness. Good luck trying to find it; maybe @ ranger stations.

Tom Harrison also offers a hiking trail map for the Golden Trout Wilderness. Extremeline now makes a pretty decent Kern River Recreation Map.
