Hello, new member here from Syracuse, NY area:
I am travelling to LA on business next week and find myself with 24 hours with nothing on the calendar. Time to enjoy the outdoors.
I've always wanted to see the Sequoias and have plenty of time to get there, enjoy 6-8 hours of whatever, and get back to LAX. I've never been there before and hope someone can offer a few suggestions.
I'm not content walking in well-trodden tourist paths and want to punish myself to see as much as possible in a short time.
Any suggestions for a route to take in as much as possible? I'm happy to bushwhack and am a bit insane. However, I'll simply be layered up with some trail runners so deep snow or ice on elevated areas would probably not be in the bag for this trip. It looks like the weather in the valleys will be fine.
At first glance at the maps, I wondered if it's possible to hike/run from Grant to Sherman and see everything in-between. I'm assuming I'd only have time to make it one-way on that one, but I'd love to hear ruminations on the topic.
If you have any other suggestions as to a killer combination of routes, I'm open ears. I'm there to see giant trees first and foremost, so anything that gets me to really experience this type of forest would be ideal.
Thanks in advance!
