Start training your neck muscles now: When you visit Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, you’ll spend a lot of time looking up — way up — at some of the largest living organisms in the history of the planet. If the name wasn’t a dead giveaway, the main attractions in these twin parks in Central California are approximately 40 different sequoia groves. These behemoth trees can only grow on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, from 4,000 to 8,000 feet in elevation, and the parks are home to seven of the 10 largest trees in the world. Amazingly, these trees, which stretch up to nearly 300 feet high, aren’t even the tallest things in the parks. In fact, they’re positively dwarfed by geological formations like the namesake Kings Canyon, a glacial valley hemmed in by 4,000-foot-high granite walls, and Sequoia’s Mount Whitney, the highest point in the Lower 48 at 14,494 feet.

Located in the Southern Sierra Nevada, about equidistant from San Francisco and Los Angeles, Kings Canyon and Sequoia are actually two national parks for the price of one. They share a border and a long history, dating back to the early days of the conservation movement in America. On Sept. 25, 1890, President Benjamin Harrison established the country’s second national park, Sequoia, to protect the area’s namesake giants from the encroaching logging industry. Just a week later, he added General Grant National Park to the roster. In those early days, America’s first Black national park superintendent (and the only African American commissioned officer in the U.S. Army), Col. Charles Young, led efforts to build a road into Sequoia’s Giant Forest, and by 1903, the landscape had opened to tourists coming in by wagon. In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Congress established Kings Canyon National Park, which absorbed the former General Grant park. 

Today Sequoia comprises 631 square miles, which include the famed Generals Highway, which cuts through dense sequoia groves; Moro Rock, a climbable granite dome; the pristine Mineral King glacial valley; and Crystal Cave, a marble cavern closed until 2023 due to wildfire damage to its road and trail. The bifurcated, 722-square-mile Kings Canyon, meanwhile, sits atop Sequoia like two lopsided bunny ears: To the west, a squiggly sliver of parkland surrounds the General Grant Tree and the neighboring village and visitor center; to the east, a much larger swath of wilderness is centered around Kings Canyon proper, dotted with iconic vistas like Zumwalt Meadow, Roaring River Falls and Muir Rock. The meandering ribbon of the Kings Canyon Scenic Byway connects the two sections as it cuts through the adjacent Sequoia National Forest. Despite their world-famous supertall attractions, Kings Canyon and Sequoia remain blissfully crowd-free much of the year. In 2019, before pandemic-related disruptions, Sequoia welcomed about 1.2 million visitors; Kings Canyon, just over 630,000. Compare that to the 4.6 million who stopped in at Yosemite National Park, their Sierras neighbor 40 miles to the north. For park ranger Rebecca Paterson, “tuning in to the soundscape” is one of the best ways to enjoy the wilderness. “Find a secluded spot, take a few steps off the trail, maybe sit down, maybe close your eyes, and just be silent and listen to the sounds of the park for a couple of minutes,” Paterson says. “I can’t express how calming and enjoyable this is.”
