Bachelors in Paradise (Valley)

Bachelors in Paradise (Valley)

In this episode of Bachelors (and Bachelorettes) in Paradise, we’ll travel to Paradise Valley in the heart of Kings Canyon National park. We’ll backpack about 20 gently rolling miles along the Kings River with waterfalls and swimming holes, all in the remote Sierra Wilderness. Whether you’ve backpacked before or just want to give it a try, this is the trip for you! We’ll leave from the Village Dining Hall on Friday morning at 7:30 and get you back in time for dinner on Sunday.
