^Day 3: During the hotter months of the year when temperatures can exceed 36° C, the National Park Rangers strongly advise that visitors do not take part in the Kings Canyon Rim Climb, since heat exhaustion is a very high possibility. To ensure your safety and enjoyment we offer a guided walk along the Kings Canyon creek-bed as an alternative. It is essential to have 3 litres of water – iced water is available to top up bottles on board the coach.
