Also accessible from our campsite is a shorter hike to Little Baldy, an exposed granite dome with a panaramic view of the Sierras.

So, allowing for any further, independent discoveries - the for-sure hikes directly from camp are to the Muir Grove, and to Little Baldy. A short drive takes you to the trailhead for Tokopah Falls and, if anyone desires, the far more touristy Grant Grove of sequoias. Longer-driving excursions will be headed for Kings Canyon and one of the caverns (if there are really two of them).

Please contribute any further suggestions, if you have 'em.
And, depending on how my ascent from the depths of Grand Canyon goes, I may attempt to scale Alta Peak in Sequoia.
