We decided to take Route 245 to the park because it looked closer. Closer it was - 49 miles instead of 69 miles. However, it was an hour and a half of solid S turns. Interesting trip, but we won't be taking that route again. Our objective for the day was to drive to the end of the road through King's Canyon and make the 9.2 mile hike to Mist Falls. It was a beautiful, beautiful hike. We met many people along the way, many packing into the wilderness areas. We decided that we would do that if we had some young strong people to carry our tents and etc. King's Canyon is a forested Grand Canyon that you drive down. No raft trips on this river with miles and miles of rapids that looked like boiling water. This was Tom's favorite hike. We got back to John Muir Lodge at 4:00 PM, showered, had dinner and we were in bed by 7:00 PM.
