NEWER VERSION

Desolation Wilderness is a popular backpacking destination next to Lake Tahoe, with much barren rocky terrain at the edge of the tree line. It has extensive areas of bare granite rock formations. The Tahoe Rim Trail and Pacific Crest Trail pass through the wilderness.

Permits are required for both day use and overnight camping. In the summer, a quota system is used for overnight trips to limit the number of visitors on any given day in the wilderness. Desolation Wilderness is one of the most heavily used protected areas in the United States. This Wilderness area is split up into 45 different zones, with each having a specific permitting quota.

The Crystal Range is within the wilderness area, with Pyramid Peak as the highest point in the range and the wilderness at 9,985 feet in elevation. Among the many waterfalls within the wilderness is Horsetail Falls.

Its largest body of water is Lake Aloha, a reservoir with shallow, clear waters sitting in a wide granite basin carved by glaciers of the last ice age. Many other alpine and wooded lakes of various sizes are scattered throughout the area.

Topanga State Park

Covering 11,000 acres, with 36 miles of trails and unimproved roads, the boundaries stretch from Topanga Canyon to Pacific Palisades and Mullholland Drive. There are more than 60 trail entrances. Topanga State Park is the largest park in the Santa Monica Mountains.

Topanga State Park was opened to the public in 1974. Land includes more than 7,500 acres from the original Rancho San Vicente y Santa Monica land grant. Additional acreage has been added in the form of 1,500 acres from the Palisades Highlands and another 1,600 acres added in 2002, near the mouth of the Topanga Creek

The word Topanga is an old Shoshonean language word meaning ‘above’ and referring to the canyon settlement being above the flood waters of Topanga Creek. The Tongva and Chumash peoples inhabited the area for thousands of years

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.
