CAMPING SECTION
You will find trip reports to the Evolution area of Kings Canyon in the high Sierra Nevada of California. This area is named as such because all of the peaks are thematically named after famous scientists: Darwin, Mendel, Wallace, Spencer, Huxley, and so on. The region is distinctive in that it is possible to spend days remaining entirely above the 10,900 foot level, enjoying some of the most breathtaking vistas in the world, let alone California.

As a reminder, please leave domesticated pets at home. The Wilderness is no place for Fido or Fifi. Park rules specifically exclude pets for a reason: dogs degrade the environment and the experience for everyone. If I see you with your pet in a wilderness area I will report you to the nearest Ranger Station and you will have to pay a substantial fine for violating permit rules.
