May 2008-- Grizzly Falls in Kings Canyon

  Grizzly Falls is located along the Kings Canyon Highway (Hwy. 180) in the Giant Sequoia National Monument area of the spectacular river canyon. There is a picnic area at the base of the falls, all easily accessed by a short footpath from the parking lot.
  A drive into the Kings Canyon is a long, but worthwhile daytrip from Three Rivers or a beautiful destination for a springtime weekend camping trip. From Three Rivers to Road’s End via Dry Creek Drive, it’s about 85 miles. From Three Rivers to Road’s End via the Generals Highway through Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, it’s just over 90 miles. The two routes together make a scenic loop trip.
  From Grizzly Creek Falls, it’s less than three miles to the boundary of Kings Canyon National Park on the highway that parallels the Kings River. Cedar Grove (with visitor services) is 4.5 miles beyond the falls. From Cedar Grove, it’s another five miles along the Kings River to Road’s End.
  John Muir proclaimed that Kings Canyon rivals Yosemite Valley in beauty; but there’s just one thing missing: the crowds!
