This region is a backpacker’s delight. There are seven major passes allowing access over the Sierra Crest. Some are more difficult than others. The more popular passes are Taboose, Kearsarge, and Portal. Taboose Pass will allow access into the upper South Fork of the Kings River with Bench Lakes and the nearby Lakes Basin.

 

Kearsarge Pass is probably the favorite trail to get over the crest since it is just a 5 mile hike with a 2500′ climb. Plenty of shade and water along the way with great fishing. On the other side of the crest is Charlotte Lake and the Rae Lakes.

 

Whitney Portal is definitely the busiest pass in this region. A quota system is in place from May through October with 100 day hikers and 60 overnight hikers each day. To get to Trail Crest is a 8.2 mile climb to 13,600′. Once over the crest, you drop down into Guitar Lake and Crabtree Lakes.
