About this postcard

A black-and-white view of the Kings River Canyon Highway, showing a road with a long white guard railing running along a steep canyon wall above dark, rocky slopes, with mountain ridges rising behind. The Kings River Canyon area of the Sierra Nevada in Fresno County was set aside as General Grant National Park in 1890 and greatly expanded as Kings Canyon National Park in 1940, the same era in which this highway view was published.
