South Sierra Wilderness

Fragile meadowlands, forested ridges, rolling hills, and craggy, steep peaks describe this wilderness, which is shared with the Inyo National Forest. The relatively gentle terrain of the 24,650 acres on the Sequoia portion is ideally suited to family-oriented recreation. Elevations range from 6,100 feet near Kennedy Meadows to the summit of Olancha Peak at 12,123 feet.
