Hike Don Cecil Trail to Lookout Peak, Kings Canyon National Park, California

The Don Cecil Trail climbs the relatively cool north-facing slope of the canyon. This historic trail was the major access route to Cedar Grove prior to the completion of Highway 180 in 1939. Beyond Sheep Creek, the climb to Lookout Peak provides an incredible panorama of the park's backcountry. This strenuous, all-day hike is 13 miles round trip and climbs some 4000' to the summit. Park near the Cedar Grove visitor center, an access trail leads to the trailhead across Highway 180.
