Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park, CA


We arrived at Kings Canyon/ Sequoia National Park from California's Central Valley on General's Highway 180 and kept climbing in elevation. The visitor center for Grant Grove Village was at 6,500 ft.+! We found a substantial snow pack when we visited the General Grant Grove of Sequoia trees. Some of these remarkable Goliaths were alive during the reign of Cleopatra!!! The General Grant tree is so wide that you could fit a city bus across its diameter and couldn't see at either end.



The General Grant Tree- 2cnd largest in the world.


Our drive along the Kings Canyon Scenic Byway  provided us with breath taking views of the Canyon and the Sierra Nevadas!!

The King's Canyon!!

Where is the picnic table?
