Going backpacking Monday June 19. Kings Canyon / Sequoia N.P.

I'm 36, live in Bay Area, born in Central Coast. Calif native: into backpacking and some light cl.3-4 scrambling, occasional light mountaineering or bouldering but this trip I'm only looking for a partner or small group who is AVAILABLE MONDAY JUNE 19 for a ~4 day trip into the Sierras around Sequoia / Kings Canyon. Perhaps Mineral King. I will be in Santa Barbara/SLO the weekend prior.

Looking for someone ~25-45 who is: Safe, has good-judgment, has endurance, experienced backpacking with the gear prepared for spring conditions (some snow) and available to start hiking Monday June 19.

Would like to do a route where neither ropes nor ice/snow equipment is required for safe passage, approx. 7-10 miles per day, I am okay with substantial elevation gains and longer days if conditions permit.

I'm into landscape photography and do lots of hiking and biking: https://www.strava.com/athletes/3204835
