[pct-l] Driving Directions to Kennedy Meadows

[mctrob at yahoo.com (Rob Langsdorf)]

I drove it the Friday night of Memorial Day weekend.
It is all paved, but there are still sections that are
less than 2 lanes wide as you climb up 9-mile canyon.
But it is definitely better than when I was in there a
few years back. 

One thing to note about the turn off from 395 is that
it is a bit sudden. Especially when you have someone
behind you who doesn't like your slowing down in the
fast lane to make a left hand turn. I almost got hit.

<<There is a two lane paved road from Highway 395
around Pearsonville that goes past the Kennedy Meadows
Store.  At 395 it is labeled Sherwin Pass and/or
Kennedy Meadows. You do turn left off of northward
bound 395. If I remember correctly, just after you
finish the initial climb, there is a right turn but it
was signed and hard to make a mistake. Just before the
store, turn right for Kennedy Meadows campground.  I
have done this drive 3 or 4 times over the last ten
years going to Kennedy Meadows and to Jordan Hot
Springs, and I don't remember any single lane or
unpaved stretches! (I think it has changed since
1978.)
