Our March 2018 visit to the Grant Grove section of Kings Canyon National Park continued with a stop at Grant Grove Village. Operated by the park concessionaire, the gift shop and restaurant are both open daily throughout the year. Besides merchandise for sale, the gift shop also rents seasonal items such as snowshoes. The restaurant food was good and reasonably priced for the location. While the service was friendly, food delivery was very slow. This may have been due to a skeleton crew or might be normal for the facility. If you have to wait for your food, this is a beautiful facility with great views out the large windows.
