Panoramic Point, Kings Canyon National Park 7/24/2013

"Panoramic Point is a fine overlook on the edge of a cliff a couple of miles northeast of Grant Grove Village, overlooking a 30 mile section of the central Sierra Nevada including Kings Canyon and its adjacent mountains. The point may be reached by a narrow, winding road that becomes unpaved and continues 2.5 miles south along a sparsely wooded ridge to another viewpoint, site of a fire lookout station."
"The mountainous vista is centered on the deep gash of Kings Canyon - 2,000 feet below and 20 miles distant, beyond which are many summits of the Monarch and Great Western Divides, as far as North Palisade (35 miles). Even on a cloudless day the view is rather hazy, however, owing to the great distances." www.americansouthwest.net

"Kings Canyon National Park is an American national park in the southern Sierra Nevada, in Fresno and Tulare Counties, California. Originally established in 1890 as General Grant National Park, the park was greatly expanded and renamed to Kings Canyon National Park on March 4, 1940. The park's namesake, Kings Canyon, is a rugged glacier-carved valley more than a mile deep. Other natural features include multiple 14,000-foot peaks, high mountain meadows, swift-flowing rivers, and some of the world's largest stands of giant sequoia trees. Kings Canyon is north of and contiguous with Sequoia National Park, and both parks are jointly administered by the National Park Service as the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks." wiki
