Just a clarification, so no one is confused.  The High Sierra Trail 
crosses Sequoia National Park, from Crescent Meadow to Whitney Portal.  
It is 100% trail.  The Sierra High Route goes from Kings Canyon north to 
Twin Lakes on the Northeast border of Yosemite. More than half of  it is 
cross country, over little-traveled passes.  The route is detailed in 
"The Sierra High Route" from Sierra Club Books.
