  Kings Canyon Scenic Byway open

  22. apr. – 15. nov. · normaltVandresæson

  Highway 180 down into the canyon to Cedar Grove opens around the fourth Friday in April and shuts again in mid-November, so Zumwalt Meadow, Roads End and the deepest part of the canyon exist for about seven months a year. Kilde ↗

Travlt — Memorial Day weekend

• Natur

  Snowmelt on the Kings River

  1. maj – 5. jul. · normaltHøjvandeRisiko

  The river runs full and loud through late spring and drowns people every year — the water is snow that fell a week ago and the rocks beside it are wet. Roaring River Falls is at its best and its most dangerous at the same moment. Kilde ↗

• Helligdag

  Memorial Day weekend

  23.–25. majNational helligdagTætpakketBook tidligt

  Memorial Day, the last Monday of May, opens the summer travel season: over the long weekend campsites and lodging book out, roads are slow, and parking at the most popular spots fills early in the day. Kilde ↗

  High country trail season

  5. jul. – 25. sep. · normaltBook tidligt

  The passes above Cedar Grove and on the Rae Lakes loop are only reliably snow-free from early July, which is why the wilderness permit quota is fought over for exactly these weeks. A big snow year pushes it later. Kilde ↗

• Risiko

  Wildfire smoke season

  1. aug. – 5. okt. · normaltLukninger

  Smoke from fires in the Sierra and up the Central Valley fills the canyon and can shut the park outright, as it has more than once. Late summer is the gamble you take for the best trail conditions of the year. Kilde ↗

  Labor Day, the first Monday of September, is the last big getaway of summer: the long weekend books out campsites and lodging and fills parking early, and families thin out quickly once it has passed. Kilde ↗

  Winter road closures and chains

  16. nov. – 21. apr.

  The canyon road is gated and what stays open — Grant Grove and the road up from Fresno — needs chains in the boot whether or not it is snowing when you set off. Rangers turn cars back at the entrance for not carrying them. Kilde ↗

  6.–16. dec. · normaltJul & nytår

  A wreath is laid at the foot of the General Grant tree on a Sunday in early December, a ceremony that has run since the 1920s. It is a short service in the snow among sequoias with almost nobody else in the grove. Kilde ↗
