109 degrees in Bakersfield. 100 degrees in lone Pine. 74 degrees at the bristlecone Forest. This is a perfect four mile hike. You will see amazing scenery, 3000 year old trees, and fantastic geology. The hike is rated as moderate, but this is probably due to the frequent up and down – changes in elevation. The interpretive signs are some of the best I've ever seen. If you're not up for a 4-mile hike they have a 1-mile alternative. If you're not up for a hike at all, just drive up there and walk a hundred yards or so up the trail and you will see these amazing trees. It really helps to read up on the geology and the history of the trees before you get there. I stopped here on a web driving from Mammoth lakes to Bakersfield. I'm certainly glad I did. Note: September 2020, visitor Center was not open and there is no one at the gate a few miles up the road. There were plenty of other visitors, but you are definitely on your own. No mobile phone service at the trailhead. At high altitudes you might get a brief signal.

Hiking the entire John Muir Trail has been a dream for many years, and Rock Creek's supported hike was an absolutely wonderful way to achieve our goal. Emma is a magician in the camp kitchen and provided us with superb, calorie-dense, really tasty meals. There was plenty of it too, a necessity when hiking in challenging territory for 30 days. Kyle led the pack and was superb: professional, knowledgeable and great company. We would highly recommend Rock Creek Pack Station to lead you on this epic adventure. We couldn't have been more pleased.
