John Muir Lodge
With its stone and timber build, John Muir Lodge beautifully blends into the earthy, rugged surrounding landscapes of Kings Canyon National Park. The lodge lies in Grant Grove Village, just minutes from the historic Grant Grove which is home to the enormous General Grant Tree. It’s the largest park in the hotel and offers plenty of space and facilities for families to relax.
There are 36 rooms at John Muir Lodge. The rooms featuring a king-size bed are ideal for couples, with families comfortably accommodated in those with two queen-size beds. Other room facilities include a private bathroom, TV, mini fridge, coffee maker, and daily housekeeping service.
The restaurant next door to the lodge serves up family-friendly food and offers American cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There’s also a seasonal espresso bar on the patio. Spend cosy evenings in the communal lobby room or in one of the lodge’s porches and terraces. And pick up groceries and other items in Grant Grove Village, just a few minutes’ walk from the lodge.
Things to do at John Muir Lodge
The lobby room at John Muir Lodge is designed for all the family with its puzzles, books, and games. And the fireplace makes this sociable space even cosier on cold nights. Communal porches draw guests together to watch the spectacle of mountain sunsets.
It’s just a five-minute stroll into Grant Grove Village and amenities such as a supermarket, restaurant, and gift shop. Also, get maps and information about the area at the Kings Canyon Visitor Centre.
Kings Canyon National Park is dream hiking, biking and cave-exploring territory, with its deep valleys, mountain meadows, and rugged rock outcroppings. Grant Grove is a five-minute drive away and boasts a vast forest populated with huge sequoia trees, including the famous General Grant Tree. Animals that call Kings Canyon National Park home include mountain lions, black bears, and marmots.
Head to nearby Cedar Grove to trail past towering granite canyon walls to Zumwalt Meadow and Roaring River Falls. Sequoia National Park is adjacent to Kings Canyon National Park and is also well worth a visit.
