These parks are home to giant Sequoia trees: immense mountains and
deep majestic canyons (1,500' to 14,491' elevation). Trails
lead to the high-alpine wilderness which makes up most
of these parks. Beneath the surface lie over 200
fascinating caverns awaiting exploration.
Both parks share boundaries and are
managed as one park.

trip through Sequoia and Kings Canyon
National parks. At Giant Forest, in Sequoia Park,
is the General Sherman Tree. The largest tree in the world,
standing 275 feet high and 103 feet in circumference. 2nd largest tree
in the world, the General Grant Tree, and the Nation's Christmas Tree is located
at Grant Grove in Kings Canyon. Both parks provide a hiker's domain of spectacular peaks.

town of 'Pinehurst' and the small village of 'Three Rivers'.

in the park itself, they are limited. There
are others fine lodging options in the
nearby Town & Village that are
