Considered "one of the best, if not the best" among the expeditions in N. America.
Starts out with the infamous packing and hike up and over Bishop Pass. From there you will drop into Le Conte Canyon and start (5) days of epic whitewater.
**Side note. Recommended to boat through Kings Canyon for the take out. -it's fun.
Special thanks to our partner Huckin Huge!
