| | This is a wonderful place to hike and enjoy the most amazing wildflowers in the Yosemite area. It follows the South Fork of the Merced with sweeping views of the river gorge. The trail also drops down to the river itself. A little bit hard but not difficult. Bring the camera! Says Mark
Every California backcountry hiking trail has something unique to offer. While visiting this region in California it's an excellent idea to go trekking too. Hiking trails are magnificent and plentiful in California; among these are Hite Cove Trail in Mariposa |

County. Now this backpacking trail is pretty long, so make sure you bring plenty of supplies. Hiking trails like this one here in the Central Sierra Nevada are an excellent way to explore these mountains. With its 14.4 miles of walking distance; it's a long wilderness trail. Hite
| | Cove Trail is positioned a pretty long journey from Madera, but hiking it is always cool. Summer at Hite Cove Trail comes with high temperatures in the 80's while night lows are frequently in the 50's. The wintertime brings highs down to the 40's while Hite Cove Trail night low temperatures throughout the wintertime are in the 20's. And keep in mind that there could be temporary safety restrictions in site. Hite Cove Trail stays roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time which means the conditions are about the same from start to finish. Alright, | |

enough of spending all this time inside a building, time to get out, and Hite Cove Trail in Mariposa County, California is just the spot. This is a one trailhead trail, so in and out is the way to backcountry trek it normally. The length of Hite Cove Trail is on the longer side
with an average amount of climbing distance which makes this a very tough wilderness hiking trail for advanced backcountry trekkers looking for an excellent challenge. Sometimes this backpacking trail gets really dry, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you
plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. A typical amount of rain falls here at Hite Cove Trail; of all the months in a year January is the one with the most rain, and July on the other hand is the driest. Here in California hiking is always an amusing thing to do. Hite Cove
Trail has a total elevation difference of 1,185 feet which is an average number. The number of wilderness hiking trails in this region is not very high. Of course, this is an overnight hike, 2 days normally, so make sure you've got all your overnight gear packed.
Briefly
about the general area:
Put some time aside to spend at Barrel Spring since you're here at Hite Cove Trail, and you can stay the night at Jerseydale Campground. Marble Point is in close proximity and always fine to stop at; Chinquapin Falls is always fun to check out. And that's
not all you can do here in the Central Sierra Nevada. If you haven’t been to Yosemite National Park, you should schedule some time for it since you're here, and naturally Skelton Creek flows through this vicinity.
Rancheria Flat is a nice location to check out. If you come
at the right time of year, Merced River - South Fork offers some great whitewater, and close by Nutmeg Gulch is a great location to go. Just can't get enough of the Central Sierra Nevada. Moss Creek is a stream that you may come across during your stay, and whitewater paddling
is not for everybody but if it's for you then, we recommend Merced River.
Yeah, come here to Hite Cove Trail for a great time. Canty Meadow is a delightful place any time of year. You'll need more than a day to look at everything Hite Cove Trail has to offer, you can camp at Indian Flat RV Park.
