Day 3 of 6 of our HST Hike last month. If I hike the HST again, I'll probably split this day up or take a zero day at Kern Hot Springs afterwards.

Leg 3 (as tracked): Precipice Lake to Kern Hot Springs|| 18.4 miles || +2066′, -5559′ || -3493′ net elevation gain || 14 hours

Details and full photo gallery (50 photos) are posted here:High Sierra Trail, Day 3 – Precipice Lake to Kern Hot Springs, June 19 2015

Yeah, that Kern is a disheartening trench. But the hot spgs are pretty cool.

I agree. Many on the HST Facebook group have said the same.
