Dear Silver City Community,
We are delighted to welcome you for another exciting season! As we continue to serve you, we have some updates and requests we'd like to share:
1. Community Discount: As a gesture of appreciation, we are offering all community members a 15% discount on all restaurant food items (excluding drinks).
2. New Gift Shop Items: Check out our new additions to the gift shop, including vintage logo T-shirts and 150 Years celebratory beer glasses!
3. Tool Access Update: We've encountered challenges with missing tools and disorganization within our shop, so to better serve everyone, we will be locking the area and limiting access to management only. If you require assistance with tools, parts, or other needs, please contact us directly. If management is unavailable, feel free to leave a message with our staff, and we will reach out as soon as possible.
4. Ongoing Maintenance: Throughout the season, various maintenance projects will be taking place around the property. If you're curious about our progress or want to explore, just let us know, and we'll be happy to give you a tour!
Thank you for your continued support,
and we look forward to seeing you
for another season on the mountain!
Best regards,

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.
