dismemberedtoejam sounds like you have a plan.
The only difference are...no trail system, chance seeing anyone is almost never while out in a real true wilderness...you may see a jet stream overhead maybe......no trash....more animals.....more confidence in yourself when you are actually flown in and dropped off.... more planning to accomplish your goals....more obstacles.....much less information on what's around the bend....no possibility of using a cell phone or even a radio too......

California as is all of the west is a GEM in our great country. I'm lucky I didn't go to California first...I may have never gone to Alaska.

I was impressed with Yosemite back country, but I was speechless traveling in Southern Utah. The Grand Staircase Escalante is pretty much like you describe AK, no trails and very few people and very wild. I will be exploring Southern Utah for the rest of my life. Went to Canyonlands (Needles District) for the first time and was blown away.

That's only true if you don't go with a herd.

You can drop the crouds in the eastern Sierra backcountry. You just have to get off the trail...

There's really nothing to see in Yosemite. Just a few rocks, trees and some water.

Move along please..... :-)
