If you thought you knew the story of "The Princess and the Pea", you are in for a walloping surprise! Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you'll never look at fairy tales the same way again!

Big Meadows is where you park and start the hike. The trail leads to Manter Meadows. Highlight attractions include old cowboy camp at the west of the meadow and also the very obvious "ground zero" of the Manter Fire - the second devastating wildfire to hit the Kennedy Meadows area in a few short years(on the heels of the McNally Fire)
