Sonora Pass is a significant location on the Pacific Crest Trail since it kind of marks the end of the Sierras if you hike northbound. A new section of trail into Northern California begins. If you hike southbound, it is the entrance into the stunning scenery of Yosemite and the rest of the Sierra Nevada.

Your best resupply option is to hitch around ten miles into Kennedy Meadows North, which most thruhikers do. The store there is small, but they have all the hiker necessities. They also have a good hiker box, hiker showers, hiker laundry, and a decent restaurant.
