Aerkluld,
Bearpaw meadow is 11 miles from Crescent Meadow in Sequoia Natl. Pard. Pretty easy hike without much incline. When I was a ranger in Sequoia, we had real problems with bears tearing up cars to get in when people would leave food inside. With the VW busses, they would just peel back the side doors to get in. Elizabeth Pass is a nice area. The east side leads over to a plateau leading to the headwaters of the San Juaquin River if I remember correctly.
We used to have to tranquilize bears occasionally when they became a problem in the campgrounds. We'd take them 10 to 15 miles away at first and let them out in the woods. Problem was they'd be back in the campground the next day most of the time, and we'd have to take them 30 to 40 miles away to get rid of them.
