There wasn't any sign for the road, and it was still dark as we headed up. There wasn't anyone else there for the breathtaking view and that made even more special.

This was top 3 stop in the park for us along with Moro Rock and Congress Trail (Sherman Tree loop). Catch it at sunset for a great view. Make sure to call ahead to insure the road up there is open.

We went to the point early in the morning, just after sunrise. We were the only people there, the fog had just cleared, and the views were amazing - well worth the slippery walk up the path (after a light snow the night before).

We hiked this twice and both times we had the trail to ourselves. The second time we went, we went early and brought coffee and watched the sun come up over the mountains.

This is a ‘must see’ overlook when visiting Kings Canyon and the road of the same name winds resolutely on a short narrow lane to the main viewpoint. Driving slowly (you need to in any case) you may get the chance to see some of the local wildlife. At the car park it is only a ¼ mile walk up... More

The road leading here is right beside the John Muir Inn and it is maybe a 11/2 lane road-we actually honked the horn when going around the hair pin turns. HOWEVER, the view is awesome from up here-so BE BRAVE!!!

This spot isn't on every map. You go to the Park Ridge Trail head and its only a reasonable walk on pavement--though mostly uphill---to view the Sierra Nevada range is all its glory, There are good graphic signs noting the peaks and offering other information. You are at 7,500 feet so expect to get out of breath walking uphill. The... More

It's literally a panoramic view of what you get at Kings Canyon. It's a steep walk up to the top of the mountain, approx. 15-20 minutes, but worth it when you get up to the top. You can see Hume lake down below and the beautiful sequoia's all round you! It's only about a 10-15 minute drive from Grant Grove... More

We hiked up to panoramic point from Grant Grove - it's a decent hike, but many opt to let a car take the strain. The views at the top are well worth the visit - stunning.
