Alpine TrailYes
Experience many biologic zones as this strenuous trail begins from the black lava rocks and sage of the Owens Valley floor. The trail climbs more than 6,000 feet as it follows the canyon of Taboose Creek between Cardinal Mountain and Goodale Mountain. Crossing over Taboose Pass leads to the John Muir Trail and destinations in Kings Canyon National Park south of Mather Pass. This trail is not recommended for stock.
The trail is very rocky, with lots of loose scree on both sides of the pass. Boulders everywhere
