Panoramic Point
A hilltop viewpoint above Grant Grove Village with views of Hume Lake, Kings Canyon and the high peaks of the Sierra Nevada.
From Grant Grove Village, drive about 3.7 kilometers up a narrow mountain road, then walk about 400 meters to the viewpoint. From here you can look out over Hume Lake, Kings Canyon and the Sierra Nevada peaks, with interpretive signs naming each summit. The uphill road is narrow and not suitable for RVs or trailers. It closes in winter, when visitors can hike it on snowshoes. You can also continue along the park's ridge trail to the fire lookout tower.
Opening hours
