Thanks! Everyone, After reading all your posts, I think we'll go conservative! Tehachapi, Bakersfield, Visalia. How many hours should it take us to drive from Lone Pine to Three Rivers, excluding the hour+ to Mineral King?
Many years ago, we hiked over Sawtooth Pass in route to climb Black Kaweah, but I've never been over Franklin Pass. Does anyone have a recommendation?
Also, in a couple of weeks, when we return, I'll do a trip report, to incude photos. If I can figure-out how to add them. Ha!
