Immerse yourself in history -- and rugged beauty -- on this hike into the Emigrant Wilderness where the Clark-Skidmore wagon train of 1852 was stranded without supplies as they crossed the Sierras to the Southern Mines. At just over 7 miles round trip, this trail is demanding due to the high elevation and steep, steady ascent of 1200’ to a high point of 7360’.
There are two, count 'em 2, hikes offered -- 7/7 and 7/14. Same details, different days:
It may be hot; bring plenty of water. Bring lunch for a picnic at the reservoir. On leash dogs OK. This will be a strenuous hike.
Two stops on the carpool/caravan:
First stop/meeting point - 6:45am at the Starbuck's in the Junction; leave at 7am
Second stop/meeting point - 7:15 at the Mi Wuk Ranger Station; leave at 7:30
Or meet at the trailhead parking lot at Kennedy Meadows on the left just before the resort and pack station. Hike starts at 8:30.
