Golden Trout Wilderness backpack 06-12/13-2010

Alice, Steve, Ted, Larry and I set out for an overnight hike into the Golden Trout Wilderness. The Kern and Little Kern were running too high for any good fishing and river crossings. After passing Jerkey Meadows we stayed our first night near Deep Creek. Alice and I took a side trip to Round Meadow where we were rewarded with a bear and cub sighting. The next day we hiked to Willow Meadow and Trout Meadow; then crossed back over the Little Kern Horse Bridge and retraced our route through Jerkey Meadow.
