    Tips

    August 27, 2020

    Kennedy Meadows is a good starting point for hikes into the northern edge of the Emigrant Wilderness, with a couple of campgrounds, restaurant, bar, and the option to either use their paid parking, or a free overnight parking area a quarter mile before reaching the restaurant. They also offer horses for day rides or for multi-day rides into the sierra, with mules carrying all the gear and guides preparing the food.

    Note that there are other places in the California Sierra Nevada called Kennedy Meadows, so make sure this one is along Sonora Highway 108 (two of our friends drove to the wrong one, about 8 hours further south, but also a nice place to hike ...).
