The most scenic and dangerous mountain drive in America at Kings Canyon Scenic Byway

Kings Canyon Scenic Byway is probably the scariest mountain drive i ever did just because of the so many ways you can get into an accident. The canyons or gorge are simply too deep and the mountains are massive. The 34-mile (55-km) drive along the Kings Canyon Scenic Byway, which is typically open to traffic from late April to November, allows you to explore one of North America’s deepest canyons from the comfort of your own vehicle. You’ll drive along a zigzagging road next to the roaring Kings River, among granite, wildlife, and wildflowers aplenty. This drive starts at Grant Grove Village and traces Highway 180 north and east until Road’s End. Drive 10.5 miles (17 km) north on Highway 180 to Junction View, an overlook on the left side of the road. This is a spectacular angle from which to see the depth of Kings Canyon. Continue downhill, observing high elevation plants such as blazing stars, which trace the highway with eruptions of their spiky blooms. Twisting and turning on the two-lane road, you’ll arrive at a bridge over Tenmile Creek, an outlet of nearby Hume Lake. Continue down Highway 180. At 14 miles (23 km), you’ll reach Yucca Point Trail, a good fishing spot where you can hike into the canyon and see firsthand the confluence of the Middle and South Forks of the Kings River. At 18 miles (29 km), you’ll start the drive into the canyon itself. The road heads east and meanders along cliffsides in a series of fun zigzags above the river. Across the canyon is a sheer slate-colored face. This is home to the Boyden Cavern. You’ll reach its parking lot at mile 19.5 (km 31). Stop for an hour and enjoy a guided tour through this unique geological underworld. In another 5 miles (8 km), you will reach a small parking lot for Grizzly Falls, a lovely cascade that can be viewed from the car, a designated picnic area, or at its misty base, just a short walk from the parking lot. Over the next 10 miles (16 km), you will experience the totality of Highway 180. Stop at Cedar Grove Village, taking the second left north and following the park service signs. Here you’ll find a restaurant and market, as well as the Cedar Grove Visitor Center. As you approach the highway’s eastern terminus, you can get out of the car and explore Roaring River Falls and Zumwalt Meadow, both of which offer stunning views of the area. The drive ends at the appropriately named Road’s End. Here you can stand on Muir Rock and peer into the King River’s crystalline waters, or go on one of several hikes. Please support my channel guys.
