• Big Stump Picnic Area - Begin the tour at the Big Stump Picnic Area. From here, a simple two-mile loop trail leads to Big Stump, the remains of the Mark Twain Tree. Before being cut down and displayed at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and the British Museum in London, this tree was an impressive 16 feet in diameter and over 300 feet tall.

• Redwood Mountain Overlook - Stop at Redwood Mountain Overlook to admire Redwood Mountain Grove. Covering nearly 2,500 acres, it is the largest sequoia grove globally. Below the overlook in Redwood Canyon, you can hike the 6.8-mile (11 km) Sugarbowl Loop or the 7.3-mile (11.8 km) Hart Tree Loop. To find the trailhead, drive about half a mile east from the overlook and follow the signs for Redwood Canyon, then continue for 2 miles on a dirt road.

• Kings Canyon Overlook - No need for long hikes to enjoy stunning views in this park. At Kings Canyon Overlook, simply pull up for a breathtaking panoramic view. It overlooks the park’s namesake, Kings Canyon, which is nearly 2,000 feet deeper than the Grand Canyon! While Kings Canyon reaches 8,200 feet (2,500 meters) deep, the Grand Canyon’s depth is just 6,000 feet.

• Kings Canyon Visitor Center - At the Kings Canyon Visitor Center in Grant Grove Village, discover more about the park and watch a short film. The Sequoia Parks Conservancy Store offers maps, books, and souvenirs. Nearby, the Grant Grove Market provides basic necessities and food, and the Grant Grove Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

• Grant Grove - Visit the General Grant Tree, the world’s second-largest tree, along with the Fallen Monarch, Gamlin Cabin, and the Centennial Stump. The General Grant Tree stands 268 feet tall and 107 feet around. Access it via an easy, paved loop trail that is a third of a mile long.

• Panoramic Point - Enjoy a fantastic view of Kings Canyon without driving into it. This high-elevation viewpoint also includes Hume Lake. The view is just steps from the parking lot. For more alpine scenery, explore the trail to the Park Ridge Fire Lookout, a 5-mile (8 km) moderately challenging hike to a fire lookout tower, where a volunteer fire observer might greet you.

• McGee Vista Point - Another excellent viewpoint! From McGee Vista Point, observe the impact of the Rough Fire. During the tour, learn about the unique relationship between wildfires and sequoia trees.

• Junction View - At Junction View, enjoy a panoramic view of the Western Sierra extending to Mount Whitney, the tallest peak in the lower 48 states. The overlook is named for the view of the junction of the Middle and South forks of the King River, as well as Kings Canyon.

• Yucca Point - The drive into the canyon is long and winding, so take advantage of another scenic overlook to stretch your legs and enjoy a stunning view of the Sierra Nevada. This overlook is situated above the Kings River.

• Scenic Byway Viewpoint - The Scenic Byway Viewpoint offers a spectacular view of the limestone vein, also known as marble, that runs through the park. Look for the gray stone contrasting with the surrounding ground cover.

• Boyden Cavern - Experience a guided tour of this remarkable marble cavern, featuring stalactites, stalagmites, and other rock formations. Tours last 45 minutes to an hour and are operated by a small company for a nominal fee. Note that there is a short but steep walk from the parking lot to the cave entrance.

• Grizzly Falls Picnic Area - Relax at Grizzly Falls Picnic Area by the waterfall, which cascades about 80 feet in a shaded forest area. The falls are a short walk from the picnic area and parking lot, making it a perfect lunch spot. Restrooms add convenience, and the waterfall is a must-see.

• Cedar Grove Visitor Center - The second and final visitor center of the day is the Cedar Grove Visitor Center, located in the heart of Cedar Grove Village. It provides information about the area’s natural and cultural history and is open seasonally from around Memorial Day through mid-September. The Sequoia Parks Conservancy Store inside offers souvenirs, clothing, and other items.

• Knapp’s Cabin - Step back in time at Knapp’s Cabin and enjoy a beautiful view of the canyon. This riverside cabin belonged to George O. Knapp, who hosted fishing trips here. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is accessible via a short trail from the parking area.

• Roaring River Falls - Experience tranquility at Roaring River Falls, accessible by an easy, nearly third-of-a-mile out-and-back trail. From there, continue to Zumwalt Meadows on a four-mile (6 km) trail.

• Zumwalt Meadow Trail - Walking to Zumwalt Meadows is a must-do experience in Kings Canyon. Reach this stunning meadow via an easy, 0.75-mile out-and-back trail. Keep an eye out for wildlife.

• Muir Rock - Muir Rock is the final stop on the tour, saving the best for last. This flat slab rests on the bank of the Kings River, offering a peaceful spot to relax. Local legend says John Muir enjoyed spending time here and chatting with visitors. The rock is a short, easy walk from the parking area.
