Boyden Cave



Boyden Cave is on the way out of Kings Canyon. You could say it's a canyon with the roof on. An asphalt path, draped with the sharp needles of the California nutmeg, leads a few hundred feet up from the river to the entrance. Gold cup oaks, big-leaf maples, and California bays also line the path. Rock-cracking saxifrage is all about. The cave looks like it means business, with its dark throat and stubby teeth. Entrance to the underworld is by guide only, tickets at the Visitors Center. Gratuities are appreciated.
