Twin Lakes to Lodgepole
(7 miles, +300/-3,000 feet).
Today was an easy last day. We packed up our beautiful site at Twin Lakes and then headed into the woods for a three thousand foot descent back to civilization.
About halfway down we entered a burn zone from the KNP Complex fire (we joked that it was actually the “KFC” Complex, started by an errant fryer!).
The Park Service has done a lot of work through here cutting up trees that might pose a danger to hikers. Some of the labeling gets a bit extreme though:
And soon we were back down to Lodgepole and on the bus back to our car at Wolverton.

very nice trip, thanks for sharing. I had never been to the Little Lakes and that looks like a wonderful place. Ferguson Meadow is a wonderful place to camp for an evening. Towards the lower portions there is a nice campsite and the fishing there in Ferguson Meadows is unusual for Kings Canyon waters.

Great trip. i loved the photos. I mapped your hike out on Alltrails. Crazy how many miles you did off trail. I live on the East Coast and don’t get to see this kind of scenery. Thanks for sharing
