Clover Creek, CA – Granite, Slides and Sequoias

Clover Creek is a small, steep, high sierra creek near treeline in Sequoia National Park, feeding the Kaweah. Not only are the drops super fun, the scenery is spectacular and you get to drive past some of the largest trees on earth. A visit to this zone gets you in the promiscuity of many other ultra classic runs. We were on Clover in mid April, 2009. Check out the photos posted…
