Camping at Kings Canyon
Friday-Monday, July 2-5
Please join us as a
group of good and new friends go camping in Kings Canyon Nat. Park July 4th
weekend. Kings Canyon
has gorgeous scenery from mountain ridges to river canyons. We'll
enjoy some great views during this weekend.
 |
We'll do one
fairly easy hike each day in the Grant Grove section of Kings Canyon Nat.
Park.

 |
One evening we'll have
dinner a couple miles from our campground at a spot with a terrific
360-degree view of Kings Canyon and the surrounding area. The other
evening we'll have a leisurely dinner in our campsite, beginning again with
Champagne Hors D'oeuvres.
|
We'll be camping in Princess Campground, in a pretty, wooded setting
with a nice mix of shade trees. We have eleven contiguous
campsites reserved, giving us a whole section of the campground to
ourselves. The meadow in the photo to the right is adjacent to our campground.
Hot showers are available about five miles away, in Grant Grove. |

 |
All of the meals from
dinner Friday (in case you arrive by then) through breakfast Monday will be
included. Everyone will be asked to help provide one meal, including
shopping, cooking and cleaning up. You’ll be able to relax and be
served by others for the rest of the meals during the weekend.
If you’d like, feel
free to let me know if you have a preference as to which meal you help
prepare. I won’t be able to meet everyone’s requests, especially those
asking for an early meal, but I'm happy to try as best I can. |
| If you'd like to join
us, please let me know when you sign up if you won't be staying for the
whole weekend, Friday night through Monday morning. I'll give first
priority to those joining us for the full weekend if the trip fills up, to avoid some of the spots
on the trip only being partially used over the weekend. Many of us will be
going up Friday morning; feel free to join us then if you'd like!

The cost of the trip is $60 per person, including the campsite fees, firewood, common supplies and
all of the wine and beer for the weekend. (Our 11 campsites were more
expensive than a typical group site.) We are permitted two tents
per site, so we'll be keeping the group to 25-30 people. To sign up for this trip, please
send your check to me. (As in the
past, I'll need your check to hold your spot.) |
As usual,
kids beyond
the crying stage are welcome to join us, and I expect a couple will be on
the trip. To avoid possible disturbances, please plan to make other
arrangements for babies and pets...thanks! (Note that as usual, the trip fee for anyone deciding to cancel will
become an appreciated donation to the weekend's wine fund.)
Let me
know if you have any questions about the trip.
I think this will be a very fun
weekend! I hope you’ll come along!
