    Judging from the relatively small number of reviews, the Buck Rock Fire Lookout seems to be not well-known, but it rivals more famous Moro Rock as an essential viewpoint to visit in the Kings Canyon.....  more »

    We took a day trip from Three Rivers to Buck Rock Lookout. It took about 6 hours for the round trip. We had a picnic lunch at the parking lot. Beautiful weather and views.  more »

    I've been here several times with friends but this time I brought the whole family for a day trip and they loved it as well. If you're into wild camping then this is a great place to start. There are a few turnouts from the off road trail in which you can set up camp and no one will bother you.

    It was an amazing sight to see... the road going to it can have some bumps... we drove our truck and never had to put it in 4 wheel drive.
