What To Expect
The Big Stump Picnic Area is the first stop on this tour. From the picnic area an easy two-mile loop leads to Big Stump itself, which is what’s left of the Mark Twain Tree. Before it was chopped down and put on display in the American Museum of Natural History in New York, and the British Museum in London, the tree was a whopping 16 feet in diameter, and over 300 feet tall.
Redwood Mountain Overlook
Pull up to Redwood Mountain Overlook to see Redwood Mountain Grove. Spanning almost 2,500 acres, it’s the biggest sequoia grove in the whole world. Below the overlook in Redwood Canyon, hikes include the Sugarbowl Loop at 6.8 miles, or 11 kilometers long, and the Hart Tree Loop at 7.3 miles, or 11.8 kilometers long. To reach the trailhead, drive about a half mile east from the overlook and follow the signs for Redwood Canyon. Then it's a 2 mile drive on a dirt road to the trailhead.

5.00Perfect way to explore Kings Canyon National Park. Stop as little or as much as you’d like along the way. In retrospect, I wish I would have done this for Yosemite as well. We took a paid tour with Discover Yosemite and ended up on a bus the majority of the time. Definitely recommend Shaka Guide!

5.00The audio tour tracked where we were in the route and make adjustments. The speaker was easy to understand, fun and delivered great information. There is a long version and short version to fit your needs. We recommend this driving tour especially if you have never been to Kings Canyon!!
Not my cup of tea!,

1.00I could never download the content. Learned a good lesson. I can’t say anything good about the experience except we were perfectly fine without it.
