    Hiking

    Only about 4.6 miles distance from the trailhead parking at Onion Valley Road, Kearsage Pass is a popular resupply detour for long distance hikers on the John-Muir or Pacific Crest Trails. It is a steep climb, but it is worth a fantastic short day hike to gain a sweeping vista into the Kings Canyon National Park, passing 5 beautiful mountain lakes along the way.

    Hiking

    Onion Valley is a popular spot for dayhikes and a gateway for the Pacific Crest Trail and John Muir Trail hikers to resupply. There are pit toilets and trash cans. A small campground is close by.
