Kennedy Meadows – Hiking Without the Pain of the Pack

Jump to Comments

From the California Gold Rush town of Sonora, follow Highway 108 east for 30 miles, and before you hit Sonora Pass (9,600), you come to one of the most beautiful spots on Earth: Kennedy Meadows. Because of swarming mosquitos, our three days of backpacking and two days of car camping turned into 5 days of car camping with our days spent fishing and hiking the Pacific Crest Trail from Sonora Pass. Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll talk about the trip and show photos of our three trout dinners, hikes up to 11,000 feet and other adventures. Until then … Be light. Be Safe. Be one with the pack.

    Dear Bruce,

    My name is Taylor Marshall-Green, I’m the content manager and editor for a new and exciting website, MarblePlay.com and we want you to write for us. After following your blog “Light Backpacking,” we feel you’d be a perfect fit as an exclusive contributor and team member of Marble Play.

    We expect to launch this Fall, but Marble Play will focus on sports, recreation, fitness and lifestyle. It’s all about getting out to play. Go find a new buddy for tennis, go trade scuba gear, go read about how walking to rehabilitate one’s hip also rehabilitates one’s mood. From little league to bar league to senior league, Marble Play will help people discover new ways to sweat, socialize and play. Here are some of Marble Play’s exciting new features.
