The Fungi Feeding the Trees“A mushroom on the forest floor is only a small part of the fungus that produced it. Much of that organism grows as fine threads hidden in soil or wood.”

“…The kids and my husband and I all agree that the narration really added to our experience driving through the parks. We learned so much about the history and the flora & fauna.”
Guide
Logger Flat is a developed group campground in Sequoia National Forest’s Hume Lake Ranger District, at about 5,600 feet in the Sierra. It sits outside Kings Canyon National Park, so think of it as a nearby forest campground rather than a park-operated stop. The single site accommodates up to 50 people and 30 vehicles; it’s most useful when your group wants to camp together.
There’s potable water, vault toilets, picnic tables, a group firepit and food-storage lockers. RVs have no electric or water hookups. Reserve the one group site ahead of your trip.
Follow Hume Lake Road past Hume Lake Christian Camps; the campground entrance is about two miles farther on the right. The site is near Hume Lake, and several trails pass nearby.
Hume Lake offers swimming, nonmotorized boating, fishing and hiking. The lake was built for a one-time commercial logging operation and now anchors recreation in the Kings River watershed.
