I came to see the old trees.
This is your basic campsite. It's only open when there's not snow on the ground. I live at sea level so I don't sleep wonderfully at this kind of altitude, but that isn't the fault of the campground. It's quiet and on a clear night you can see a bazillion stars.
You have to do the Methuselah hike. It's short and there's not a lot of elevation gain but I did it on the first day at altitude so it was more challenging than expected. We were fine, but we passed a lot of complainers. It's worth listening to the ranger's talks at 11 and 2pm.
