Finally myself and friends did Rae lakes loop recently. This has left a hunger for more Sierra Adventures. Listing few loops and point to point courses which can be done with a overnight fastpacking trip, if one is tad aggressive in hiking and ultralight on pack.

Some Sierra Fastpacking ideas

2. In SEKI, Big Seki Loop somes to mind. Details are very well captured here:
a) Big Seki North: About 80 miles (17,200 ft) from Roads End in Kings Canyon
Our Strava Route is similar to Leor's https://www.strava.com/activities/355382812
b) Big Seki South: About 60 miles from Roads end in Kings Canyon

Trail Head: South Campground near Bishop
