"A land of canyons! Kings Canyon ... Ash Canyon ... Vicee Canyon -- all visible from the marker. And it's easy to see how the mountains created a formidable barrier and backdrop to the old military post. Instead of cavalrymen and the ubiquitous rancher, these canyons now provide a backdrop to some of Carson's most expensive houses and the residents that live in them ..." -- Journal Entry, June 2007

Along Kings Canyon Road, 2.3 miles west of King Street -- Carson City
* Find this one on the westbound shoulder of the road just past Longview Way *

Signed: No

Notes: Here is another odd placement courtesy of the SHPO. Although the Office's intentions were genuine anywhere along Longview Way would've been a much better (and safer) location for this one. As it stands this marker is set at a sharp road bend with no parking or shoulder of any kind to speak of for marker viewing. Instead, viewers must hurriedly cross Kings Canyon Road at this road bend making for quite a dangerous scenario. My recommendation is to park at the dirt turnout just south of the marker and walk a few hundred yards north. [235] was recently repainted in celebration of "150th Battle Born" as evident by the new plaque!
