Grizzly Falls

Near the base of Grizzly Falls in full springtime flow

Grizzly Falls dramatically drops some 75ft in a misty display during the spring. When the falls' flow diminishes (often to a single narrow column) in late summer, you'll find lots of people frolicking at the base of the waterfall. Because this is essentially a roadside waterfall (see directions below) it's not surprising that it's not often you can enjoy the falls to yourself for any appreciable length of time.

Technically, this waterfall is not in Kings Canyon National Park though it is easily the most attractive of the waterfalls upon a visit to Cedar Grove. The falls actually is part of Sequoia National Forest as it sits on the Kings Highway between its departure of the national park boundary when it leaves Grant Grove and its return to the park at the Cedar Grove entrance. Still, you probably won't care which named reserve it sits in as you marvel at this lovely attraction.

Directions: As mentioned above, the falls is on the way to Cedar Grove in Kings Canyon. You can spot it right off the Kings Canyon Highway (Hwy 180) when the road parallels the raging Kings River. There is a large car park with a few picnic tables to spend time in this popular stop barely 6 miles before you enter the Cedar Grove section of Kings Canyon National Park.
