Very nice scenic overlook area. Several points to overlook the great views of Kings Canyon National Park. It's a short hike that is well signed. It is uphill to the point but not too bad. The parking area is a little small and the road is a little narrow. If you have the time it's worth the trip up.
During our visit to Kings Canyon National Park last May, we had the pleasure of stopping at Panoramic Point Overlook, situated at an elevation of 7520 feet. The short 0.5-mile loop hike on a paved path from the parking lot was easy and enjoyable. The trail is lined with beautiful pine trees, creating a serene atmosphere.
Upon reaching the overlook, we were absolutely mesmerized by the breathtaking view of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and the picturesque Hume Lake. The presence of a wooden bench, picnic tables, and an informative panel added to the convenience and enjoyment of our visit.
For those concerned about facilities, there is a well-maintained restroom at the trailhead. Overall, our experience at Panoramic Point Overlook was nothing short of spectacular. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kings Canyon National Park. It's a must-see destination that offers both natural beauty and comfort.
Surprisingly uncrowded for a first class view. Easy one-mile round trip on paved trail to panoramic eastern view of Kings Canyon.
There are shaded picnic tables and restrooms.
We stopped by at sunset and the views were definitely worth the drive here. A moderate climb on paved walkways to reach the overlook and a pit toilet at the trailhead parking lot, too.
Amazing viewpoint and very easy, completely paved walk up to the point. Worth the drive that is one lane in places.
Beautiful landscape with great views, the site has a parking lot and is accessible by car, just be carefully cause the way is winding and narrow and when you arrive to parking lot, there is a bit of hike to see the valley,
Drive up Panoramic Point Rd until it ends at a small parking lot. Be aware the road is narrow and has several blink turns, partially due to vegetation. After parking follow the path up to the highest point, both paths at the splint are equivalent. There's a stopping point near the end with a sign that points out distance sights like Hume Lake, Kings Canyon, and mountain peaks.
Cloudy the day we went, but the parking facilities and trail were great.
Beautiful hike that allowed us to get away from the crowds and loud tourist. I love that tourist visit the national parks, and I am a tourist... but some just have zero consideration. After this hike, my wife and I went to check out General Sherma
Fallen Monarch is the name of the sequoia that has fallen and is now used as a narrow corridor that shortcuts the trails of the loop to the General Grand. It is a must see attraction since it will give you great photo opportunities and your kids will
