What's Not Included
Why
Hike through the giant forest and marvel at the worlds largest living thing;
title earned by the massive General Sherman Sequoia tree which is 2300 to 2600
years old. These huge Sequoia Groves grow naturally only on
the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, usually between 5,000 and 7,000 feet
elevation. Climb up Moro Rock, a "mini-Half Dome", and from its
granite summit you see the Western Continental Divide on one side and the entire
San Joaquin Valley on the other! Experience the Roaring River Falls and Mist Falls
in the Kings River which has carved Kings Canyon some 6,000 feet - deeper than
Hells Canyon or Grand Canyon!
You may choose daily between a long strenuous hike or shorter hikes with plenty
of time to explore the history of the area after. These beautiful parks lie
about 100 air miles South of Yosemite. The five hour drive to Sequoia/Kings
is fascinating as we travel through the orchards, table grape and cotton fields
of the San Joaquin Valley along Hwy #198. The John Muir Lodge nestled in the
midst of the two parks offers cozy accommodations, store, gift shop, dining,
visitors center and trails meandering through the Grant Grove of Giant Sequoias.
