The first of a 25-mile three-day backpack trip. This trail was a great starting day, and except for a slight misstep down the Sugarloaf trail toward Roaring River, which added about an extra mile to our day, the hike was easy and uneventful. We ended our day by taking the spur to Lost Lake, and camped there on our first night. Despite being Saturday of Labor Day weekend, we were the only ones at Lost Lake. We skipped Seville Lake because while picking up our permits at the Kings Canyon Visitor Center, the ranger informed us that a party of 15 was spending two nights at Seville Lake, and we decided that wasn't the kind of wilderness experience we were looking for. The next day we found that there was a family camped at Ranger Lake, so we were happy with our decision to spend the night at Lost Lake. The scenery is unlike anyplace I've ever camped before!
