Backpacking in King's Canyon

7. Hiking on a Ledge

It makes you wonder of the cataclysmic events that occurred here as you see the large rocks perched above the trail here. An old saying can be so true. "Take time to smell the flowers." As the captain of the crew Dad has to balance the need to get to the destination before dark and still have time to enjoy both the scenery and rest so people have an enjoyable experience. The trip needs to be planned so the destination can be reached in the time alloted. This can determine how early the hike needs to begin.
