When I get back from the Grand Canyon on the 9th (if someone industrious hasn't acted first), I intend to transform the now-useless camping dates poll to an activity poll.

We should find out which folks want to do which stuff, and then coordinate our activity schedule as best we can to accommodate everyone's deepest desires.

Er, nature exploration desires.

Um, natural park hiking and activity desires.




As I recall, there's the Crystal Caverns, the trek to King's Canyon, the hike to the nearby grove of Giant Sequoias, and there's an even shorter hike to some big rock or another with a panoramic view (I don't have time to scour 79 pages either).

Then reset the "posts per Page to 500 and you will only have a page and a half to read!

I want to rent canoes and go canoeing. i believe Hume Lake is like 25 minutes away.

Actually, I just want to be able to go.

I wanna see huge wood - er, I mean big trees.

Just intrude upon my tent once zapppop arrives.

Hiking information.

Also, Boyden Cavern.

That's not the giant redwood I had in mind. :p

That sounds familiar. Oh, and I hate the paths/switchbacks over rockpile. When we did it, it was snowing.

Then there is Lounging - I plan on getting some of that done too while we are there

Hmm, while that site did mention Little Baldy (the rock I couldn't remember the name of), it didn't mention the main hike available from Dorst Campground, namely, to the relatively secluded grove of giant Sequoias (the Muir Grove??).

Of all those others mentioned there, I think we tossed about the hike to Tokopah Falls as a possibility. And I guess Zumwalt Meadow would be included in our trek to Kings Canyon.

Also ... is Boyden Cavern separate and apart from Crystal Cavern? If so, which do we choose :confused:




NA, € and I did quite a bit of preliminary activity research when making the camping reservations. Though by no means exhaustive, we did a fairly good job of finding reasonably unstrenuous, interesting and nearby hikes, plus a couple of cars-required excursions to fascinating sites beyond walking distance.

I'd hate to re-create the wheel and start all over again (especially when the desired information is likely somewhere in this very thread).
