The Shorty Lovelace Historic District includes a series of cabins built in Kings Canyon National Park by trapper Joseph Walter "Shorty" Lovelace between 1910 and 1940. Lovelace was the first non-Native American to live year-round in the upper Kings River Canyon.[2] Lovelace may have built as many as thirty-six structures in the area, with possibly a dozen surviving. Lovelace built his first cabins in 1912 at Crowley Canyon. The cabins were typically five feet by seven feet with dirt floors.[3]

Structures include:

  • Williams (Quartz) Meadow Cabin
  • Sphinx Creek Cabin
  • Crowley Canyon Cabin
  • Granite Pass Cabin
  • Vidette Meadow Cabin
  • Gardiner Creek Cabin
  • Woods Creek Cabin
  • Cloud Canyon Cabin
  • Lower Bubbs Creek
