Hi All. Thinking of taking the cave tour. I saw descriptions that said it is a half-mile hike from the parking area, descending approximately 320 feet on a steep, paved trail with stairs. The return hike is strenuous, equivalent to climbing a 20-story building. It the trail as hairy as this description says? We have a family member with some mobility issues, but can do a lot of stairs/ elevation with assistance. Also, is the 2 hour drive from Kings Canyon entrance to the parking lot accurate? Thanks.
