Kings Canyon is said to be the deepest canyon in the US even deeper than the Grand Canyon. The drive into Kings Canyon starts out along the top of the canyon then works its way down to the valley and Kings River over the 35-miles. The CCC built this road back in the 1930's and they provided ample view points, vista stops, pull outs and sight seeing opportunities. Kings River has cut a narrow gorge through the extremely hard granite in places. Perpendicular walls are common.

We drove as far as the road goes into the valley then turned around and started the climb out on the same road that brought us in. The attraction is the awesome canyon with vertical walls and turn outs where you can get out of your car and peer down into the canyon. In the valley you peer up at the mountains towering above.
