KINGS CANYON NATIONAL PARK

Tehipite Dome is hidden behind the tree on the left but you get a great view up the Middle Fork of the Kings. This valley can be seen as you drive into Cedar Grove but there is only two trails in. One way is from Cedar Grove by way of Simpson Meadow. The other is from the Courtright area. Thats the way we hike out but it wasn't that fun. Its a 3000 foot climb on an unmaintained trail. There was even a wasp nest in the middle of the trail. I took my boots and socks off at lunch and quickly put the socks back on to keep the wasp off my feet. I have no idea if the trail has been worked on since, but I doubt it. It does show up on some maps, but on others its been removed.
