This ten day backpack trip started at Road's End in Kings Canyon. We took he Bubbs Creek trail up to Junction Meadow then ascended East Creek to Lake Reflection. Once we passed East Lake the route was cross country for the next six days. From Lake Reflection we crossed the Great Western Divide at Longley Pass. We climbed South Guard then descended to high, barren, beautiful South Guard Lake. Then we headed south on a gnarly cross country route, crossing two high passes before eventually intersecting the Colby Pass trail below Colby Lake. We then followed the trail down Cloud Canyon, over Avalanche Pass and back to our starting point.
