WHAT TO SEE AND DO
The Principal Attractions in the park which the visitor should see are
as follows:
One-Day Stay.--Should include the Sherman Tree, Lodgepole Camp, Moro
Rock, Parker Group, Crescent Meadow, and Tharp Cabin Log in the Giant
Forest district. A drive out the Generals Highway to Lost Grove and
General Grant National Park should be included.
Two-Day Stay.--In addition to the above should include the Alta Trail as
far as McKinley Tree, Congress Group, and the High Sierra Trail to Eagle
View.
Three-Day Stay.--Should include in addition, Tokopah Valley, Sugar Pine
Trail to Kaweah Vista, and view of Marble Falls, from Admiration Point.
Four-Day to a Week Stay.--Will enable the visitor to see all of the
foregoing attractions and to take the high mountain trips on High Sierra
Trail to the cream of Sierra scenery at River Valley, Hamilton Lake, or
Tamarack Lakes; to Twin Lakes, Alta Meadows and Peaks, Mount Silliman,
Emerald and Heather Lakes, The Watchtower, Colony Mill, Little Baldy
Fire Lookout, Admiration Point, and Marble Falls, with many other
points.
Three-Week to a Month Stay.--Will permit a trail trip through wonderful
country by the High Sierra Trail over Kaweah Gap to Big Arroyo, Kern
Canyon, and Mount Whitney through the finest scenery of the Sierra
Nevada. The Kern Canyon is a 25-mile valley with 3,000-foot walls, fine
fishing, and lovely waterfalls.
It is no exaggeration to state that any length of time from 1 day to all
summer may be profitably and enjoyably spent in the park. New beauties
and natural wonders will be unfolded each day.
