Alt Text Park map of Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park in California. Kings Canyon National Park, highlighted olive green, is in two parts: a large, squarish unit at the top right corner of the map, and a small corkscrew shape at the left side of the map. These areas border the northern extent of Sequoia National Park, which extends in pale green across most of the bottom half of the map. Extended Description State Route 180 runs from the upper left edge of the map, snaking east to an entrance station and Big Stump Grove just beyond it. A note in red text here reads, “No gasoline sold in parks.” The road continues, winding slightly north to Big Stump, where there is winter recreation and a picnic area, before branching north as Kings Canyon Scenic Byway and southeast as Generals Highway. Kings Canyon National Park State Route 180 continues north to Kings Canyon Visitor Center and Grant Grove Village, which is found at an elevation of 6,589 feet (2,008 meters) and has lodging, food service, a market, public telephone, post office, and Wi-Fi. Smaller paved roads run to points of interest in a cluster around the Visitor Center. Clockwise from six o’clock are Sunset, with a campground; Azalea, also with a campground; another picnic area; a pack station with horses for hire; the General Grant Grove; General Grant Tree; Crystal Springs, with a campground; and Panorama Point, which has a picnic area and a note stating, “Road closes with snow. No RVs or trailers.” State Route 180 now leaves Kings Canyon National Park and enters Giant Sequoia National Monument, which is a part of Sequoia National Forest. Through here, it passes McGee Overlook, then intersects with a gated road, open only in the summer, that runs west to Chicago Stump and the Converse Basin Grove. It then passes another gated unpaved road, also open only in the summer, that runs north past Converse Basin Grove to a trail that loops east toward Boole Tree. The road continues northeast to Princess campground. Just beyond this, a long, winding paved road, open only in the summer, branches off Kings Canyon Scenic Byway to the south, passing Hume Lake, where one site at the north end of the lake has a campground and picnic area and another at its western tip has a gas station, food service, market, and public telephone. This road continues past Landslide and Tenmile, both of which have campgrounds, before meeting Generals Highway on the northeast shoulder of the park. The side road then extends beyond this junction to ripple further east into Sequoia National Forest. Before terminating in the middle of the national forest, the road passes junctions with two narrow roads that head south, the first of which passes Buck Rock, which has a fire lookout at 8,500 feet (2,591 meters). Back up at Princess, State Route 180 next passes through Hume Junction Gate, beyond which a note indicates that the road is closed in winter. It continues northeast to reach Junction View Overlook before turning south and east to Yucca Point Gate. Continuing east past the Monarch Divide, it passes Convict Flat, which has a campground and picnic area, and Boyden Cave. The road then parallels the South Fork Kings River through Monarch Wilderness to reach Grizzly Falls, which has a picnic area, before reentering Kings Canyon National Park at its larger eastern unit. Once inside this main section of the park, the road leads past Sheep Creek and Sentinel, both with campgrounds, to reach Cedar Grove Visitor Center and Village, which is at 4,635 feet (1,412 meters) and has a market, food service, picnic area, lodging, public telephone, and pack station with horses for hire. A short, paved loop road leads north and west past the Visitor Center to a Lewis Creek Trail, which accesses Cedar Grove Overlook. Kings Canyon Scenic Byway continues east through Kings Canyon past Canyon View, with a campground; Moraine, with a campground; Canyon View; Knapp’s Cabin; Roaring River Falls; Zumwalt Meadow; and Muir Rock. The road ends in a small loop at Roads End Permit Station. Trails run from the permit station north along Copper Creek; northeast along South Fork Kings River past Mist Falls and through Paradise Valley; and east along Bubbs Creek past The Sphinx (9,143 feet, 2,787 meters). Now returning to the Kings Canyon Visitor Center, the park road travels south to Generals Highway, which in turn heads east and passes Redwood Mountain Overlook and Quail Flat, which has winter recreation. A narrow road, open only in summer, drops south to Redwood Canyon and a series a trails that wind around the Redwood Mountain Grove here. Generals Highway continues on to the southeast, forming a short part of the park boundary as it passes Kings Canyon Overlook and Montecito Sequoia Lodge, which has food service. It then leaves Kings Canyon National Park to enter Sequoia National Forest. Just past this point, Forest Service Road 14S11 (open summer only) branches off Generals Highway and runs northeast into Jennie Lakes Wilderness, passing Horse Camp and Big Meadows campgrounds and terminating near Horse Corral, a pack station with horses for hire. South of the Kings Canyon Scenic Byway, trails lead to Roaring River wilderness campground along the Roaring River. Sequoia National Park Generals Highway continues southeast past Montecito Sequoia Lodge, which also has food service, and Jennie Lakes Wilderness to reach Stony Creek, which is closed in the winter but has lodging, food service, a market, gasoline, and public telephone; and Upper Stony Creek, with a campground and picnic area. The road continues south into Sequoia National Park, leading to Lost Grove, and then winds south to a short, paved road that runs west to Dorst Creek, with a campground and telephone, and a trail that runs to Muir Grove. Generals Highway then continues south past Little Baldy (8,044 feet, 2,452 meters), then snakes east to a picnic area near Halstead Creek, before connecting with a short, paved road that runs north to Wuksachi Lodge, which has lodging, food service, and a public telephone. The highway continues east to Lodgepole Visitor Center, which is at 6,720 feet (2,048 meters) and has a market, food service, and public telephone, as well a nearby picnic area and campground. The road snakes southwest from here, connecting with a road that runs northeast to Wolverton, which has a picnic area, telephone, and winter recreation. On a second side road that branches off the road leading to Wolverton, and a note in red text reads, “Summer parking for main Sherman Tree trail.” Generals Highway continues south to General Sherman Tree, where a leader line points to another note in red text reads, “Winter parking for Sherman Tree (except holidays). Summer parking only with disability placard.” Generals Highway continues southwest to a picnic area, Big Trees Trail, and the Giant Forest Museum, which is found at 6,409 feet (1,954 meters). From the museum, trails run east to Giant Forest Grove, and a side road runs south to Moro Rock, then east to Tunnel Log, Crescent Meadow, and more trails that in turn connect to Tharp’s Log. Next to this road, a note in red text reads, “Road closes during snow and shuttle seasons. Vehicles longer than 22 feet may be prohibited.” From here, Generals Highway snakes south and west and south again, connecting to a road that heads northwest to Crystal Cave, which requires advance tickets. A note along this road reads, “Road open during tours. Vehicles longer than 22 feet are prohibited.” Generals Highway then continues on to the south, passing an overlook to reach Hospital Rock, which has a picnic area and public telephone. A short side road runs east of Hospital Rock to Buckeye Flat, which has a campground. Generals Highway then runs southwest past Potwisha, which has a campground, public telephone, and trail which heads north to Marble Falls. Note in red text: “Vehicles longer than 22 feet (including trailers) not advised between Potwisha and Giant Forest Museum.” The highway then travels southwest to Tunnel Rock, a picnic area, and the Foothills Visitor Center and Park Headquarters, is located at 1,700 feet (518 meters) and has Wi-Fi. The road continues southwest past the Entrance Station and out of the park, winding along the Kaweah River as State Route 198 to the town of Three Rivers. State Route 198 continues southwest to Lake Kaweah, which has a surface elevation of 694 feet (212 meters) and off the map with a note: “To Visalia and State Route 99.” About one-third of the way between the Entrance Station and Three Rivers, Mineral King Road branches off State Route 198 and heads east, following the East Fork Kaweah River with a note in red that reads “RVs and trailers not advised.” Mineral King Road enters Sequoia National Park at a gate with a note that reads, “Road closed in winter.” Inside the park, Mineral King Road passes Lookout Point Entrance, before heading northeast to reach another gate with a note that reads, “Road closed in winter.” East of this gate is Atwell Grove; Atwell Mill, with a campground; the Atwell-Hockett Trail, which heads south to East Fork Grove and beyond; Silver City Resort, with lodging, food service, and a public telephone; Cold Springs, with a campground and telephone; Mineral King Ranger Station (7,504 feet, 2,287 meters); and an end point with a telephone at 7,830 feet and 2,387 meters. Features in the Sequoia-Kings Canyon Wilderness north of Mineral King Road include Bearpaw Meadow wilderness ranger station (summer only) north of Redwood Meadow Grove and Pear Lake wilderness ranger station (summer only) east of Tokopah Falls. Both of these ranger stations are only accessible via the network of trails lining the park east of the main park corridor along Generals Highway.
