What do you think? Is this moving around too much?

kings Canyon doesn't have much roads into it. You have a spur road into it and the Southern part and that is it. To explore tha park you need to do a lot of back country hiking.

The part you could explore in KC is 1 day at tops unless you do some sort of over night hike.

On the east side of the park along US 395 you have roads that take you trail heads that will take you into the park.
