Mist Falls


On Day 2, we met a trailhead at Road's End for a journey to Mist Falls on the South Fork Kings River. The hike was 8 miles round trip and tunnels through riverside forest, rises on granite slopes to gain views of 10,007 foot Avalanche Peak and a granite pinnacle called the Sphinx. Half way through the trial the Kings River plummets 45 feet forming Mist Falls. Just before reaching the falls, large flat granite boulders form close to the water and made an ideal place to stop for lunch, admire the view,  and sun ourselves for a bit.
