Mineral King Loop (CA)
The loop starts at the end of Mineral King Rd. at the the Sawtooth Trailhead in the Mineral King Valley of Sequoia National Park. The route travels 36.3 miles over Franklin Pass, Black Rock Pass, and Timber Gap totaling 12,140ft of gain. I recently did this route and was simply blown away by the subapline valleys and high granite peaks of the Mineral King Valley. This area is not well represented through with FKTs, and there is an incredible amount of potential in this section of Sequoia National Park.
