Backpacking in California - Mt. Whitney

A grand crossing of the Sierra Nevada through Sequoia National Park, culminating in an ascent of Mt. Whitney from the west, coupled with dramatic hiking deep in the wilderness makes this backpacking trip one of our most spectacular adventures.

This 83-mile Trans-Sierra crossing takes us through the most remote spots of the High Sierra. You'll climb Mt. Whitney from a direction that hikers seldomly see. Our travels take us on 3 famous trails: The John Muir Trail, The High Sierra Trail, and we exit the wilderness on the Pacific Crest Trail. This is a true backpacker's adventure.

Avoid the backcountry interstates this summer by following Southern Yosemite Mountain Guides on a new 9-day west-to-east 83-mile traverse of the Sierra. You'll be taking the backdoor route to Whitney..."
