Hike Baxter Pass Trail, John Muir Wilderness, California

The Baxter Pass Trail provides access to the John Muir Wilderness. It climbs more than 6,000 feet to Baxter Pass, on the Sierra Crest. The trail continues into Kings Canyon National Park, where it joins the John Muir Trail. Baxter Pass Trail is steep and rugged. In some places it is difficult to locate. The 10-mile loop takes you to the alpine basin of Summit Meadow. Turn off U.S. 395 about two miles north of town on the Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery Road and keep going up the North Fork of Oak Creek Road. No dogs are allowed on the trail because it is located within the Sierra Bighorn Sheep habitat area.
