5 day loop in southern sierras
I am going to be in california for about a month and was looking to plan a 5 day backpack loop somewhere in the sierras south of Yosemite. I've heard good things about Kings Canyon and John Muir Wildnerness. Can anyone recommend a good 5 day loop trail that isn't super crowded?

the Rae Lakes loop is pretty awesome, popular, but deservedly so. numbers in the backcountry will have dropped significantly by then.

There is the Rae Lakes Loop. Most people do it in 6 days, but with a high mileage last days it can be done in 5.
Also you might consider Yosemite - Toulomene (sp?) Mdw. to Cathedral Lake, cross crountry to Merced River to Little Yosemite Valley, day hike Half Dome, then to the Valley via the Mist Trail.
