Hiked the Kern River trail from the bridge for about 4 miles to the connection to the Rincon trail. Gorgeous wildflowers along the river bluffs and terraces.
Dome Rock, the Needles, Church Dome, etc. are incredible places. I feel truly blessed to have been to these places, seen the meadows, bagged some peaks and climbed some amazing routes.
...the Kern River Canyon is a vast playground and there's more to explore! I've hiked a large portion of the Little Kern River area and have camped and hiked and explored near Lake Isabella many times.
