a heap more enjoyable things to do in the Southern Sierra Nevada. In the event that you don’t have a problem getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Kern River, and you can go for a hike on the Bull Run Cattle Drive.
This lake is one of the great places here in the Southern Sierra Nevada. Stay the night at Quail Valley Recreational Village, and going for a hike on the Old Sled Trail is always a great adventure. This lake is so wonderful. Ercil
Lake is frequently a reasonably dried up place; January is the month that gets the most rain, and July on the other hand is the driest. High temperatures at Ercil Lake through the warm days of summer are in the 90's while nighttime
lows are ordinarily in the 60's. For the duration of the winter highs are ordinarily in the 50's, and through the dark hours in the wintertime at Ercil Lake temperatures drop to the 30's.

Kern River
 | 14 miles away ...e above coordinates are correct. I've guided the Kern for 7years. The takeout location is close enough but the putin coordinates are just wrong. Those coordinates would put you in the middle of some class VI rapids (IE unrunable) There are actually two putin locations. 1. LAT 35.439250 LON -118.802450 This put in is impossible to get to without trespassing. So you need special permission. It's located right below the Rio Bravo Hydroelectric Dam. This section is actually a class IV followed by two class V's. I've done the entire Kern, it's definitely V. You can only do this extra section during very high water years because the Power plant diverts most of the water along this stretch. 2. LAT 35.429084 LON 118.825602 Also, on private property with no public access. Only Search and Rescue, Kayak Olympic Team, and River's End Rafting have access to this putin. There is also a public access point on racheria rd. There is a little trail to get there just past the gated community gates. I believe there is still a sign. It's not a long hike. That point gives you 5 miles of very fun cl... |
Hobo Campground
 | 16 miles away I camped here about 5 years ago and really enjoyed it. I did not do any white water rafting but I did do some hiking around the campground which was quite nice. Camp sites were clean and far enough apart to have decent privacy.... |
Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park
