Central Sierra Nevada\u00a0Mountains\/ Kaiser Pass & Kaiser Peak \/ Highway 168<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the best cell phone coverage areas for any California Wilderness location, this central Sierra region is located south of Yosemite\u00a0National Park and known primarily for Shaver Lake.<\/p>\n

California Hwy 168, along with Dinkey Creek Road (southward) and Kaiser Pass Road (northward) leads off in all splintered directions to secluded campsites, rivers, creeks, lakes, developed campgrounds and amazing forest scenery. Off road trails and hiking trails, everywhere back here! But it is best to have several good maps for cross reference.<\/p>\n

This Sierra\u00a0National Forest region includes all hydroelectric dams and lakes<\/a> surrounding Shaver and Huntington Lake, including Florence Lake, Ward Lake, Edison Lake, Mammoth Pool<\/a>, Courtright Reservoir and Wishon Reservoir<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dusy Ershim Trail 4×4<\/a> travels past Kaiser Peak and the cell phone towers. Several primitive camp sites with views on ridge. Numerous developed NFS Campgrounds<\/a> out this way along Kaiser Pass Road.<\/p>\n

Trailheads for horseback, hiking, backpackers, mountaineers, rock climbers. Snowmobiles love this amazing route when the snow is deep; some west coast winters can be better than others. Know before you go!<\/p>\n

Kaiser Wilderness are granite mountain peaks, near Huntington Lake & the China Peak ski resort, formerly called Sierra Summit Ski; \u00a0One lane narrow backcountry paved roads: Kaiser Pass Road 80<\/strong> (east of Huntington Lake) and\u00a0Stump Springs Road\u00a05<\/strong> is West Kaiser (west of Huntington Lake)<\/p>\n
