Kings Canyon National Park

On day 2 of our Sequoia/King's Canyon tour, we traveled to the rugged King's Canyon.  King's Canyon is the deepest canyon in the U.S., and it is beautiful!  This canyon section of the park can only be accessed from a 32 mile drive down narrow, winding roads defined by sheer cliffs above and below. 
Once in the park we opted to do a 9.2 mile hike to Mist Falls.  This hike followed the swift moving King's River up to a beautiful waterfall.  After 4.6 miles in the 96 degree heat, the mist from the falls felt very refreshing.
Our hike was dramatically scenic - and definitely worth the drive!
