Sequoia National Park's Tunnel Log
Crescent Meadow RoadA stone stairway ends at the top of Moro Rock's granite dome. Enjoy views of the surrounding mountains and wilderness to the east. Climbing to the top of Morro rock is exhilarating. There are steps provided all the way to the top. If you’re up for the walk it is well worth it. From the top of Morro rock you have a view for miles. On a clear day it is quite a vision. You can also see the road winding down into Three Rivers.

General Grant Grove, a section of the greater Kings Canyon National Park, was established by the US Congress in 1890 and is located in Fresno County, California.

Zumwalt Meadow in Kings Canyon
This 0.8 mile (1.3 km) trail passes high granite walls, lush meadows, and the Kings River. Once a loop trail, natural flooding in 2019 washed away sections of the trail passing through the meadow and paralelling the river. Today the trail crosses the Kings River via an expansion bridge, then offers views of the meadow from a trail passing through wooded areas and talus slopes. Beyond the meadow trail, the trail merges with the Kanawyer Loop trail, continuing another 0.8 miles (1.3 km) towards Road's End and Muir Rock. Trailhead parking is 4.5 miles (7.2 km) east of Cedar Grove Village.
Accessibility: From the parking area, the trail to the expansion bridge is relatively level and may be suitable for some wheelchair users. Surfaces are unpaved, and both sandy and not firmly packed in some places.
This trail is fairly accessible for wheelchair users from the parking area up to the meadows. The dirt is easy enough to roll on. Once you cross the bridge, the trail narrows a bit and there are some more tree roots and rocks that you may need to dodge.
Easy stroll that can be extended into a longer hike towards roads end, or roaring river falls. Keep an eye out for bears.
