Due to unexpected CalTrans road work on Highway 180, Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon National Park will be closing for the season on Monday, October 22 at 10 a.m., three weeks earlier than planned. 

Crews will be taking advantage of low water flows to shore up the embankments along the highway. The Highway 180 closure will be just east of Hume Lake Road.

The park is working to make contact with hikers, campers, and other visitors currently in the area, as well as alerting those who were planning to visit after Monday. For park information and trip-planning, visit the park's website or call the main park line 559-565-3341.

For Sequoia National Forest information, visit their website or call 559-338-2251.

For more information about the Highway 180 closure and project, contact Sam Yniguez, information officer for CalTrans District 6 via email at [email protected] or phone 559-444-2518. You may also visit their website .
