The second leg of my 2015 trip, that also included Sequoia and Yosemite, Kings Canyon was memorable for its enormity and for the lack of humans. I’ve been fortunate over the years to enjoy these treasures relatively free of crowds. But this setting left me virtually alone in the wilderness, aside from lodging, which is a welcome blessing when you’re trying to connect with where you are.
I had little time to explore on foot so I was determined to drive as much of the park as I could. I found an incredible reflective pool after many miles of extremely winding roads through the canyon. Next time, I hope to stay longer and explore some of the remote treasures of this massive park that are just a short hike off of the road.
