Cedar Grove Snack Bar

Kings Canyon National Park


This basic counter-service grill dishes up hot meals (burgers/hot dogs/burritos) and cold deli sandwiches. Dine outside on the riverside deck. In summer there's an occasional barbecue and the smoky smell is too tempting to resist after a long hike.
