I’m currently doing a summer internship with BN Livestock<\/a>, which leases grazing land from Los Vaqueros Watershed<\/a> in Contra Costa County, California.<\/p>\n

I’ve taken the opportunity of being out here to visit places in the\u00a0Sierras I haven’t been to yet. I recently did two sunrise walks\u00a0in King’s Canyon National Park<\/a>\u00a0and this post shows\u00a0photos from that trip.<\/p>\n

The first hike was up Lookout Peak<\/a>, a sparsely traveled hike near Cedar Grove. The walk is pretty straightforward with some nice boulder problems at the top, if you’re into that sort of thing. A great spot for solitude – decent amount of effort required.<\/p>\n

For the second, I walked up Kearsage Pass<\/a> to\u00a0Mt. Gould<\/a>, on the West Side of the Park, near Independence, California. Kearsage sees a fair bit of folks (although not pre-sunrise), but Gould is also pretty sparsely traveled. Some nice problems at the top of this one too.<\/p>\n
