The scenic beauty of California and the cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. This is a pretty short section so better bring some good walking shoes. Getting a good workout and spending some quality
    time in nature have a lot of people coming here. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way there are lots of good rivers for that around here. The river winds through the Central Sierra Nevada and you get great scenery. This river
system has a few good paddling sections and the Forest Service Road 12S0 to Kings River section is one of them. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination.
