Scenic Images 3
Kings Canyon National Park

View From Road To Kings Canyon National Park. Many decades ago I actually hiked to the summit of 11,000 ft. Alta Peak, one of the snow covered peaks in distance. It was a strenous 20 mile round trip hike. See the following 2 images from that trip of July 1963 when I was young.
