The Generals Highway will close tonight, Jan. 24, at 5 p.m. between the Wuksachi Lodge and Montecito Sequoia Lodge in anticipation of winter weather. This is a regularly scheduled winter closure that often occurs earlier in the season when snow and ice accumulate. This section of the highway is expected to reopen March 21.
Recent reports from visitors indicate that online maps have shown a road closure in Three Rivers, directing travel through the Big Stump Entrance of Kings Canyon on the north side of the parks. Although there are construction delays, Highway 198 remains open to traffic. After the closure, traveling through Three Rivers is the only way to access the Giant Forest.
For the most up to date 24-hour road conditions and advisories, please call (559) 565-3341 (press 1, 1).
