Directions:
To Sequoia Park entrance: from Highway 99 at Visalia take Highway 198
east for approximately 1 hour.
Note: The 16-miles of road from Ash Mountain to Giant Forest includes
130 curves and 12 switchbacks. Due to this, there is a vehicle-length
advisory for the 12 steepest miles within that stretch. From Potwisha
Campground to the Giant Forest Museum, the advised maximum vehicle length
is 22 feet (6.7 m). The alternative: take Highway 180 from Fresno to Grant
Grove, then turn south on the Generals Highway.
Maximum legal length limits on the Generals Highway are 40 feet (12 m)
for single vehicles or 50 feet (15 m) for vehicles plus a towed unit. If
you are towing a smaller vehicle, consider camping in the foothills and
using the smaller car to explore.
To Kings Canyon Park entrance: from Highway 99 at Fresno take Highway
180 east approximately 1-1/4 hours.
