Grizzly Falls Picnic Area — Attraction in Shaver Lake

On Memorial weekend, we took a trip from the Bay to Red Rock Canyon State Park and on the way back to stop by Tunnel Log of Sequoia State Park but it was too busy, the road was practically blocked with visitors, so we went to Grizzly Falls Picnic Area instead to view the magnificent nature falls. The winding road took us there was quite beautiful, rock formation on the side of the road, the roaring rivers on the side are quite wonderful to look at. The park ranger at the gate was so helpful and pleasant, made our long trip less tiring but exciting. The cost to visit all the beautiful parks in California was so inexpensive and the parks are really well kept, the restrooms are quite clean. The roads are smooth. We were lazy to put gas from Mojave and we're still had some gas left on top of the falls, but there aren't any gas stations for 50 miles. Luckily, it was downhills on the way down, we had enough gas to get to the gas station. Make sure you have enough gas or electricity on EV if you go to the Grizzly Falls Picnic Area. Anyhow, it was worth it to drive all these miles and winding roads to see the beauties...

Grizzly Falls in Kings Canyon National Park is a natural wonder worth experiencing! The 80 ft high waterfall creates a mesmerizing spectacle with its thunderous water drop, gracefully cascading over the rocks into the serene creek below. The short 0.1-mile hike to reach it is a breeze, making it accessible to all.

We visited during spring when the waterfall was at its peak, and the view was breathtaking. The amenities at the trailhead, including picnic tables and a vault toilet, were convenient. However, be aware that parking is limited, with only 6-10 spots available at the pullout area. During the busy summer season, these spaces may fill up quickly. Plan accordingly to ensure you can enjoy this natural beauty hassle-free. Grizzly Falls is a must-visit gem in Kings Canyon...

Summer is in full heat! Fresno and Visalia nearby are both under heat advisory but up here at Grizzly Falls Picnic area is an awesome place to relax and chill out in the cool mist or a full dip in Grizzly Falls. The picnic area fills up on the weekend but you'll have the whole place to yourself most weekdays, so pack a lunch and bring your best friend. The road is closed past the Deer Cove Trailhead parking area. Kana and I did the Deer Cove trail, it was quiet, calming, and a really good place to walk. The 180 scenic byway that leads you out to Grizzly Falls from the Kings Canyon Visitor center, past the Hume Lake fork and through the Boyden Cavern Visitor area. (The caverns are open, just get there early to avoid the crowds.) Live...
