Road To Cedar Grove At Kings Canyon National Park To Open Monday

Share
By Compiled From N... - May 7th, 2022

Spring runoff floods the South Fork of the Kings River through Cedar Grove/NPS file

Work to remove a landslide blocking access to the Cedar Grove area of Kings Canyon National Park in California should be completed in time for that area to open to the public Monday, May 9.

Access to Cedar Grove had been scheduled to open April 22, but was delayed due to a significant rockslide on a portion of Highway 180 in Sequoia National Forest.

This is the time of year when snowmelt makes rivers in the parks swift, cold and dangerous. Warmer weather can make rivers an appealing place to recreate, but park staff urges visitors to be cautious. Avoid getting too close to the river's edge as rocks can be slippery. Most river fatalities are from visitors unintentionally falling into the river. 

PG&E will be in the Cedar Grove area this summer to complete a project started in 2021. Park staff say visitor impacts should be minimal, but there may be traffic delays of up to 15 minutes in May and June.

Services in Cedar Grove do not open until later in May, including the visitor center and market. For information about services and things to do in Cedar Grove visit the park's website nps.gov/seki. For the most current road conditions call the parks’ information line at (559) 565-3341, press 1, and then press 1 again.
