description:
A very scenic drive, via a curvy highway that cuts thru farmlands, oak foothills, sequoia groves, granite walls with caverns & eventually ends up at a hiking/camping/waterfall paradise called Cedar Grove... the eastern far end of Hwy 180. Kings River is the longest river in the Sierras!
