Route Description for Manzanita and Azalea Trail
This is a wonderful trail through lush forestlands adorned with carpets of verdant ferns and blooming wildflowers, exposing epic views of the Sierra Nevada Mountains along the way. Open year-round, this lovely path can be enjoyed with a pair of snowshoes and a pair of chained tires to access the Grant Grove Visitors Center. Be sure to stay on the marked path to safeguard the fragile environment. Note entrance to the park costs $35USD per vehicle or $20USD per person for pedestrians or cyclists.
