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, please select an area of interest from the navigation bar on the left.
