Camping
Several campsites are located along the routes to the summit. Some of these campsites are located by the South Fork Kern River. There are also some areas not specifically designated for camping but which are nonetheless able to be camped on. Permits are required to be able to camp in the Golden Trout Wilderness, which can be reserved ahead of time.[4]
