Sespe Wilderness

Has anyone here traversed the Sespe Wilderness?

No, I'd never ever heard of it until your post, but I checked it out online. Looks beautiful! If you ever hike around there, you'll have to let us know if you like it.

Wildbill, me not either, but just like backpackntrail I am most curious to hear from someone ever having hiked it

I have been hiking Sespe for the past 5 years. Usually go in the late Spring (March-April)when there is plenty of water. It is one of my favorite areas to hike. I have not made it to the hot springs yet. Have hiked Pedras Blancas to Pine Mountain and to Oak Flat campground in the opposite direction.

I'm planning on going in April....just got all the topos and started plotting the gps coords. Now I just gotta find my gps!

We'll be going to the hot springs and then Mcdonald Cabin.

el_vaquero, will you "report" about it here after you get back? I know you'll have a wonderful time. I've heard magnificent stories about that area.

I'll be happy to....

Here's a link to the trip I'm planning:

I posted a field report and some pictures from a solo overnighter I did there several years ago. Cheers.
