This hike starts at the falls, where the river rushes through a rocky gap into a blue pool, and can continue to Zumwalt Meadow for a loop. Road damage has closed Highway 180 to Cedar Grove, so the trail is currently inaccessible by car, and repairs are expected after 2023. The route can be extended along the South Fork of the Kings River toward the Kanawyer and Paradise Valley trails, with views of alpine meadows and granite walls.
