Okay so I'm planning on visiting Yosemite for the first time in June. Has anyone done the hike from Yosemite to Kings? How hard is it? Are there nice campsites? How easy is it to navigate? Anything I should know about?
Thank you

Yeah I guess so, I was looking into it. Getting a bus that gets into the visitor centre and can't imagine that the route starts there. I looked it up and on google it says it's a 100 mile route (or 38hrs) going along John Muir Trail/Pacific Crest Trail/Sierra High Rte to get to Kings. Being generous I gave myself 5 days (less than 8hrs a day) of hiking, then Kings Canyon to Sequoia looks like it would be about 3 more days beyond that, thus my confusion over the length of the John Muir.
I'm not even sure where to start with "is there anything I should know." How to backpack for 20 days at a stretch might be good. How to pack a backpack, how to pack a bear canister, how to get wilderness permits... maybe you should start. How much backpacking experience do you have?
