  Kings Canyon Scenic Byway open

  22. apr – 15. nov · vanligvisStisesong

  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 ↗

Travelt — Memorial Day weekend

• Natur

  Snowmelt on the Kings River

  1. mai – 5. jul · vanligvisHøy vannføringRisiko

  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 ↗

  High country trail season

  5. jul – 25. sep · vanligvisBestill tidlig

  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 ↗

  Wildfire smoke season

  1. aug – 5. okt · vanligvisStengninger

  Winter road closures and chains
