Trail Riding in the Domeland Wilderness, Sequoia National Forest

While me and my family went camping this weekend...I saw a bunch of trailheads that I would have just loved to go riding on...I know the area pretty good because we flyfish in Big Meadow, Taylor Creek, Manter Meadow...this area is spectacular for outdoor activities....here is a blurb on the Domeland Wilderness, Sequoia National Forest...

LOCATION & TRAILS ACCESS


Dome Land, with a total acreage of 94,695, has about 45 miles of hiking/horse trails. Trailheads on the east side are near Rockhouse Meadow and at the Long Valley Campground (BLM). Access is via Nine Mile Canyon Road (J41) from US Highway 395 or Chimney Peak Road via State Highway 178. West side trailheads are at Big Meadow and Taylor Meadow. Two trails from Big Meadow can be reached from Kernville via Tulare County Road M99, Sherman Pass, and Cherry Hill Roads. Leading to Manter Meadow, the upper Big Meadow Trail is a rugged hike while the lower Big Meadow Trail follows more gentle terrain. The trail from Taylor Meadow (southeast of Big Meadow) also leads to Manter Meadow. North side access is available from the Blackrock/ Sherman Pass Road via the Dark Canyon and Woodpecker trails.

Here are some pics I took from our trip this weekend....you can see why it would be great to bring a horse along!

This one may be hard to see...but Horse Meadow is in the center of the pic.


This is of Big Meadow...great artesians springs that run through the meadow.


Another shot of Big Meadow...can you picture yourself riding through this?
