A training hike to the Hockett Meadows area starting and ending at the South Fork trailhead in Sequoia National Park, May 25-27, 2006. It had been a dry winter so the area was relatively snow-free and the streams were only moderately full.

bryanlallen > Trailhead sign at South Fork trailhead, Sequoia National Park. Self-issue wilderness permits from this trailhead, no charge. Starting altitude about 3500 feet. Photo a bit fuzzy but I didn't want to use flash (thus the 1/6th second exposure...)
