After a roundtable discussion as a family, Kings Canyon was decided as our next overnight destination. We left on Wednesday around midday and arrived in the park to do the one-hour-long, very windy, steep cliff off the side, drive down to Cedars Grove where we set up camp in the campground we had reserved that morning. We were able to successfully use the camp stove from Brett's youth to cook our dinner. We set up our tent and it stood the whole night. We had much to be satisfied with. We played some great family games at the table, saw some amazing stars, and then rested up for our bike ride the next morning. We found a path recommended online that went through a conifer forest and paralleled the South Fork of the King River. Then we biked along Highway 180 to Zumult Meadow where we turned around and realized how much of an uphill climb we had been on with our bikes. Then we packed up our camp and drove to the Sherman Grove where we went for a brief hike before heading home in time for baseball practices.
