Dear Mineral King and Silver City Community Members,
The California OES Listos Grant has been awarded to Sequoia Yosemite RCDC, and they are graciously including our community in this exciting opportunity. The purpose of the grant is to link communities in disaster prone areas with government agencies and stakeholders to foster connections, and provide vital education on how we can help keep our communities and properties safe from disasters like wildfire and flood.
You can read more information about the extent of the grant HERE.
The Block Party will be held on Friday, September 19th from 2pm-4pm on the Silver City Resort deck and is open to both the Silver City cabin community, as well as Cabin Cove and Mineral King.
We would love to see as many members of the communities as possible, as we expect to have a lot of questions answered, and education provided. As we have faced several natural disasters in the last five years, it seems this is a prudent event for us all.
There will be hors d'oeuvres and lemonade served on the Silver City deck as part of this event.
Though we are waiting for confirmation on the representatives that will be at the event, we are hoping for several stakeholders and government agencies to be represented and available for questions.
Topics will include funding opportunities, hazard mitigation, fire protections, etc.
Please RSVP to Molly Dunn at molly@silvercityresortca.com if you are planning on attending, and more information will be circulated as it comes in.
Please let me know any topics you would like covered at the meeting, and we will ensure the proper information and education is provided!
Thank you, friends! Let's learn how we can make our communities safer together!
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Kind regards,
Molly Dunn General Manager

This narrow, curvy mountain road has needed repair and improvements for decades. The National Park Service was finally able to secure funding for this major construction project in 2023. The work includes re-paving the roadway within its existing width, stabilizing and reinforcing slopes and the outside edge of the roadway, and replacing and enlarging over 200 culverts. Roadwork will shift within the 12-mile section of road depending on access, weather and work needs. There will always be two closure points, one on each end of the current work site.
-NPS- About Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks
These two parks, which lie-side-by-side in the southern Sierra Nevada in Central California, serve as a prime example of nature’s size, beauty, and diversity. Nearly two million visitors from across the U.S. and the world visit these parks for the world’s largest trees (by volume), grand mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, the highest point in the lower 48 states, and more.
