Cedar Grove
A campground and small village on the floor of Kings Canyon, flanked by towering granite walls carved by glaciers and nicknamed 'the other Yosemite.'
Following the Kings Canyon Scenic Byway (Highway 180), you descend about 50 kilometers to the canyon floor, passing through one of the deepest canyons in North America. Cedar Grove offers cabin lodging, campgrounds, a store and a visitor station. It is the trailhead for Zumwalt Meadow, Roaring River Falls, Muir Rock and the Mist Falls trail. The road is generally open from late April to mid-November each year and closed in winter. There is no gas station in the canyon, so fill up in Grant Grove before you descend.
Opening hours
Approx. late April–mid-November (depending on road opening)
