There is severe road damage along the Highway 180 corridor between Grant Grove and Cedar Grove. Highway 180 is the only road into the Cedar Grove area of Kings Canyon National Park and is currently closed. It is not accessible by car this summer or fall, and Caltrans expects to complete repairs after the end of 2023.
When the trail reopens, you can enjoy a beautiful hike through Zumwalt Meadow for a 1.5-mile loop or continue along the South Fork of the Kings River and take the Kanawyer Trail and Paradise Valley trail for a longer hike, with breathtaking views of the river, alpine meadows and granite canyon walls.
