Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks are contiguous parks in the center the High Sierras. Established in 1890, Sequoia is the second oldest National Park in the system, behind only Yellowstone. Kings Canyon was made a National Park in 1940.

Much of Sequoia was hit hard by wildfires in 2021, so our itinerary may depend on what is open and safe when we arrive in July of 2022. We hope to visit Moro Rock, the Giant Forest Museum, Crystal Cave, and the General Sherman Tree. We also hope to string together a number of hikes in the Grant Grove. In Kings Canyon, we will explore the scenic byway and hike the Mist Falls Trail. We’ll be staying at Stony Creek Campground (in Sequoia National Forest) and Cedar Grove Lodge.

Check back in the summer for our blog update on our Sequoia-Kings Canyon visit and a detailed recounting of our itinerary as we experienced it.
