The Ionian basin is a rarely visited, remote, trail-less, and alpine region of Kings Canyon National Park. Michael Uhler’s presentation will illustrate his backpacking trip that starts by ascending the Lamarck Col, taking us through both Darwin Canyon and Evolution Valley then into the striking Ionian Basin.
A professional gardener since 1987, for 17 years Michael Uhler has been a horticulturist at the Regional Parks Botanic Garden, a 10-acre botanical garden located in Tilden Regional Park in the Berkeley Hills of
