Places To Go

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are two parks that operate as one unit. This can create some confusion when navigating where to go for the very first time. Each park is separated into multiple ‘districts’, each with their own unique features and highlights like the world-famous General Sherman and General Grant sequoia trees.
