A good hiking and backpacking area.

Don't go here expecting to day hike. Everything is long and steep, requiring 4 days minimum to really enjoy, and it's all at elevation, requiring further time car camping or renting lodging near the trailheads to acclimatize for most people. It's also a long, tedious drive on a winding, narow, steep road to get there at all. That said, if you have the better part of a week and the stamina to hike 30 miles and gain 9100' minimum, you'll have relative solitude and views you won't forget.

A challenging walk up 400 steps to a spectacular view.

You'll earn the view...it's 350 steps and takes you to 6725 feet elevation! It's sooo worth it! The climb up is relatively easy, even if you're moderately out of shape like me! There are sections of gradual inclines in between stairs so you get a break. There are plenty of points climbing up where you'll want to stop and take pictures also, so you can catch your breath. There were several families with babies even climbing up. Your reward is an amazing view of the national park and the Great Western Divide! It's a short hike, we were only here about 30-40 minutes. But a definite must-see while you're here!

Kings Canyon National Park is named for this large canyon, perfect for hiking.

Kings Canyon National Park is wonderful. We like the HWY 180 scenic drive, the King River, cliff overlooks, Grizzly Falls, Roaring River Falls, wild flowers, and Visitor Center. You could visit a cavern at Sequoia National Forest which is in the Kings Canyon.

Great day activity when up in kings canyon to do with our 3 and a half year old! It was a pretty easy hike once you actually get up to the cave and the staff at the gift shop and our tour guide were wonderful informative and patient with us!!! Definitely would recommend if you're looking for a daytime activity. Took about an hour to a hour and a half including the walk up and back. Definitely bring water shoes so you can walk in the creek bed on the way out!!!
