The Middle Fork of the Kings River in California is the king of expedition kayaking in the lower 48. Guarded by a grueling 12 mile hike over a 12,000 foot pass the river plunges nearly 200 feet per mile for 40 miles, dropping 7000 feet off the spine of the Sierra's. A successful descent of the Middle Kings requires crossing the Sierra's from east to west by foot and then descending the river by boat.
