What an incredible place. We loved walking around the rim of Kings Canyon for the second time. The scenery is stark and beautiful. The cliffs so sheer and red-brown. The trees a beautiful contrasting green. You have to stop to look at the scenery as while you are walking your eyes need to be on the rocky ground to make sure you don’t trip. It is a steep climb to get to the rim and then an up and down walk to go all the way around. Markers keep you on the “track”. If they were not there one would surely get lost. Many thanks to the powers that be who have added the odd wooden bridge and some staircases to make it possible to get around without falling down some deep ravine. At the bottom of the canyon lies the Garden of Eden, another truly beautiful place to spend time. Here we had our morning tea along with lots of other walkers. There are 2 pools of water and lots of ancient cicads. You are right in the canyon itself and know there is still a big climb to get back to the rim and then along to where you have to climb down to the car park.
Each night in the Kings Canyon campground we have been entertained by dingoes howling. We were advised to keep our gear inside as apparently they have a penchant for shoes at the moment.
