Highlights: In the heart of the Sierra National Forest, little Kaiser Wilderness boasts 35 square miles of pristine forests, emerald lakes, and rugged alpine terrain. Despite its immediate proximity to Huntington Lake, Kaiser Wilderness lures relatively few hikers compared to neighboring John Muir and Ansel Adams wildernesses. This short trip samples its solitude and ample swimming and fishing opportunities.
