CA-180 East: Fresno to Kings Canyon National Park

CA-180 East: Fresno to Kings Canyon National Park

He And [Applause] Yeah He He E [Laughter] [Laughter] [Laughter] a [Laughter] a oh [Laughter] [Laughter] a Yeah You You A You Yeah Oh Oh Oh W Oh Oh After two steps you step step step I lost my balance I lost my balance and you know that’s when the col started to change me me And it was somewhere then I started to feel covered in chaos cover in chaos And it was somewhere then don’t look at me give me love me love me me me love never Me All right everyone I want to thank you all so much for watching this video here along Highway 180 as we drove from the outskirts of Fresno up to King’s Canyon National Park so me and my grandpa decided to take a day trip here up to Kings Canyon National Park to check out

The General Grant tree here in early October of 2023 and Let Me Tell You Folks we were just absolutely Blown Away by just how large these trees here are in King’s Canyon National Park and I can only imagine that nearby Sequoia National Park has just as big if not

Bigger trees than the ones here in King’s Canyon we were absolutely Blown Away by what we saw here today one thing I will admit is that this area of California is is quite a bit of unfamiliar territory for me I have not explored much of the Southern half of

The Sierra Nevada mountain range especially South of Highway 120 and yosity National Park I’m not sure what I was expecting about this drive when I drove up to King’s Canyon National Park here along Highway 180 but man it is a really steady climb there out of Fresno

You don’t really get any breaks or anything like that except there near yokuts Valley or formerly known as squa Valley before you just start that really long climb up to Kings Canyon National Park where you just basically go up about 4,000 ft without any really any breaks or passing Lanes they have plenty

Of turnouts and stuff like that of course but man I can imagine how frustrating that drive must be especially for larger vehicles I really hope to do more exploring of King’s Canyon and Sequoia National Parks in the future because me and my grandpa only explore just a small fraction of Kings

Canyon National Park there near the General Grant Grove of giant Seas of course I would really love to check out down there by the general Sherry and seoa National Park and of course we’re traveling along the generals highway right here in this part of the video which I actually recorded as we were

Making our way over to a Scenic Overlook and we just passed through this area right here that was just completely devastated by a fire it was just really sad to see but it’s just the sad State of California these days especially when you see so many burn scars from many of

The fires that we’ve had in California here over the last decade but yeah I hope you guys enjoyed this little introduction here to King’s Canyon National Park I really enjoyed my time here and my grandpa did too because he’s never seen the sequoia trees for himself

So I’m really glad that I was able to plan this trip and be able to show him these giant trees at least once in his lifetime and I’m sure we’ll get a chance to go out to sequa National Park here in the future too because I really want to

Check out the General Sherman tree and then of course Drive the entirety of the General’s Highway especially when conditions are pretty good especially in the summertime of course this road isn’t even open in the winter time because of the high elevation and just dangerous driving conditions and stuff like that

So yeah I really hope you guys will be looking forward to that in a future video down the line all right folks I’m going to end off the video right here like I said I really hope you all enjoyed this video here driving up to King’s Canyon National Park this is

Definitely one of the more underrated national parks in the western us and especially here in California as I mentioned in the video it’s often overshadowed by nearby sequa and Yos national parks but Kings Canyon definitely has its own charm too so let me know what else I should check out in

Kings Canyon National Park in the comments I love to hear about it all right I hope you all have an amazing day and take care everyone thank you so much for watching we will see you on the next One oh
