Here's a suggestion for you, Busy. Ride into Kings Canyon National Park either from the west on Hwy 180 (Go up Hwy 99 to Hwy 63 and then take 63 north to 180) or enter Kings Canyon through Sequoia National Park (you've been there and know how twisted that road is). The best thing about Kings Canyon is it has big sequoias and a much more traffic-free, twisty road down into Cedar Grove where
reservations are NOT required for the campgrounds. It's very much like Yosemite. The scenery isn't as spectaclular, but it has a big river and waterfalls and a big meadow area at the end of the road past Cedar Grove. It's definitely worth a trip. Might be a little chilly in your fleece sleeping bag if the weather turns cool like they say it will. No gas station at the bottom of Cedar Grove though so get gas in Squaw Valley before you start up the mountain or in Grant Grove after you enter the park.
