Janet---To amplify on comments already made about the Eastern Sierra, these is spectacular boondock camping available from Bishop on the South to Bridgeport on the North. Also, some nice camping along the Walker river N. of Bridgeport. Virginia canyon, Lundy canyon, Lee Vining Canyon, June Lakes loop and the Mammoth Lakes all have the type of camping you are looking for. Don't forget you can take the interstate to Lake Tahoe and then go south on 395 as a way around the slow and steep passes of Tioga, Sonora and Monitor.

Most of the alpine camping is at 9000 ft or so, so check with the dad first about his altitude tolerance. Mammoth was in the low 80's today while Yosemite Valley at 4000 ft had a 100F day.

Have fun.
