Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

These twin parks hold monuments to nature's size, beauty, and diversity: Immense mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns ... and the world’s largest trees! The parks lie in the southern Sierra Nevada, east of the San Joaquin Valley. Activities vary greatly by season and by elevation.

Both roads leading to these parks approach from the west. They are open all day, every day, depending on weather. No roads cross these parks. From the east, no roads reach the park boundary.

To enter Sequoia Park
From highways 65 or 99, go east on Highway 198 to the park entrance.

To enter Kings Canyon National Park
From Highway 99, go east on Highway 180 to the park entrance.

The main park road, the Generals Highway, connects these two entrances.
