Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks - California

Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks are adjacent parks in California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. Together, they are home to some of the largest trees in the world, as well as stunning mountain views, caves, and canyons. There's so much to explore, but it's important to consider safety guidelines when visiting these national parks.

And, be prepared for a few insect bites, especially if you’re visiting during the warmer months.
