Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion King's Canyon Advice - late August / Early September

Looking for recommendations on a shorter (2-4 day) backpacking trip/trail for King's Canyon in late August / early September. I have been day hiking out of "Road's End" in the past but am looking for suggestions on a little longer trip.

Note: My g/f and I completed Whitney on a day trip last summer and applied for an overnight permit to complete the backpacking variety this summer, but didn't win the lottery. This is our replacement trip.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! We are coming up from Los Angeles if that makes a difference.

Thanks!
