Olancha Pass is a challenging route in the South Sierra Wilderness. The trailhead sits at Sage Flat, going through oak woodland, ascending steeply through the valley, passing by lodgepole forest, and offering amazing views all the way. The trail is well-marked and getting to the pass sure pays off all the effort. There are not many water sources on the way, so be sure to fill your bottle always when you can. It’s more recommended to hike to Olancha during summer, to avoid crossing snow fields.
