This is an area in the southern part of the park called Mineral King. It's 23 miles of one lane twisty switchbacks going from ~800' to 8,000' in elevation. It is a wild road to drive. The night we drove in, we drove through a controlled burn. It was quite an experience to drive thru a forest fire at 3 am. All was dark except for the burning trees and brush fires. The smoke was thick with a sheer drop to one side and a fire to the other. But we stayed the course and had a great time camping. Enjoy!
