Note: The 16-miles of road from Ash Mountain to Giant Forest includes 130
curves and 12 switchbacks. Due to this, there is a vehicle-length advisory
for the 12 steepest miles within that stretch. From Potwisha Campground to
the Giant Forest Museum, the advised maximum vehicle length is 22 feet (6.7
m). The alternative: take Highway 180 from Fresno to Grant Grove, then turn
south on the Generals Highway.
Maximum legal length limits on the Generals Highway are 40 feet (12 m)
for single vehicles or 50 feet (15 m) for vehicles plus a towed unit. If you
are towing a smaller vehicle, consider camping in the foothills and using
the smaller car to explore.
To Kings Canyon Park entrance: from Highway 99 at Fresno take Highway 180
east approximately 1-1/4 hours.
