Review:
Sequoia National Park lies adjacent to Kings Canyon National Park in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the southern Sierra Nevada. Together, the two parks comprise towering mountains, deep canyons, stunning forests, enormous caves as well as some of the largest trees in the world. The highlight of any visit is exploring a few of the remaining extensive groves of giant sequoias (video). It is a good idea to start out at the Giant Forest Museum for an introduction and to then set off by foot, car, or shuttle bus. (Some of the paths are accessible for wheel chairs). Hikers and nature lovers can select from dozens of hiking trails for all abilities, drive the Kings Canyon Scenic Byway, go rock climbing, cave touring, or join a variety of ranger-led activities.
