Garfield Grove Trail — 30 minutes
Lodgepole Campground — 1 hour
Case Mountain — 1 hour
Wolverton Picnic Area — 1 hour
Mineral King Valley — 1.5 hours

Garfield Grove Trail is a challenging hike, but worth the payoff of towering Sequoia groves.

Meet the park’s giant sequoias, General Sherman and the Four Guardsmen, at Lodgepole Campground where you can spend the day on leisurely trails with breathtaking views. It also reigns as the most popular stargazing spot thanks to dark inky skies.

Case Mountain is popular with mountain bikers and trail runners, with over 45 biking trails and 100 hiking trails.

Locals love the Wolverton Picnic Area in the winter for sledding, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing.

Mineral King Valley is famous for its scenic trails through pine, sequoia, and fir forests dotted with colorful, granite landscapes. Hiking at this altitude is strenuous at 7,500’, but you'll be rewarded with breathtaking views of this glacial-formed valley.

Kings Canyon offers climbing and whitewater rafting deeper in the park. Granite peaks and boulder riverbeds attract climbers from all over. Favorite spots include:

Little Baldy
Big Baldy
Bubbs Creek Wall
Charlito Dome
Charlotte Dome
Moro Rock
Angel Wings

. . .

Lake Kaweah

Explore the Kaweah Recreation Area and Horse Creek Campground for fishing, boating, swimming, paddle boarding, and day hikes. Both offer quiet camping spots with plenty of space for groups. Bringing a boat? Dock at the Kaweah Marina, which is also our go-to for watercraft rentals.

Book with our favorite rafting guides over at Kaweah Whitewater Adventures for an unforgettable experience. We also highly recommend the Indian Head River Trailhead for hiking and fishing.
