This well-maintained trail is very popular for hikers and backpackers who love to explore Kings Canyon National Park. The path is a mix of sand and lush forest with excellent views of the South Fork Kings River all along the trail. The incline can be challenging if you are headed up to Mist Falls, which includes a set of stairs along the valley's edge. The water features and beauty throughout the hike are well worth the trip.
