Yesterday's destination was Kennedy Meadows, 57 miles east of Sonora, elevation 6,214 feet, with a population in the town of Kennedy Meadows of 28 people. It is referred to as the gateway to the high Sierras. Leaving Kennedy Meadows the PCT passes directly through the South Sierra Wilderness, made up of 60,084 acres managed by the Forest Service. In 1984 the South Sierra Wilderness became part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. The national wilderness system is made up of 109 million acres.
