We landed our plane at nearby Kings Canyon Station. A staff manager from Discover came to collect us. They also dropped back to our plane the next day. They were most helpful, unlike Kings Canyon Station staff (manager) who were not very friendly (except for the lady at Reception taking our landing and overnight Fee who was nice)
