Sequoia/Kings Canyon National Park Travel Information
Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park are home to
giants: immense mountains, deep canyons, and huge trees. The two
adjacent national parks were the country’s second and third so
designated, respectively. Together with Giant Sequoia National
Monument and vast stretches of federal wilderness, a significant
portion of the Sierra Nevada range is encompassed in this beautiful
area. Because the elevation of the parks ranges from 1,500' to
14,491', they protect stunningly diverse habitats. Travelers on the
Generals Highway will climb over 5000 feet from chaparral and
oak-studded foothills to the awe-inspiring sequoia groves. From there,
trails lead to high-alpine wilderness or beneath the surface to quiet
limestone caverns. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are
located in east central California, about 200 miles north of Los
Angeles. For more information on the parks and the surrounding area,
