Kings Canyon National Park
"A rival to Yosemite", as described by John Muir, neighboring Kings Canyon National Park is only a short drive away from Sequoia. Composed of two distinct areas - the Grant Grove area and the Cedar Grove area - Kings Canyon offers California visitors a unique experience unlike any other on Earth.
Grant Grove is home to the General Grant tree, a.k.a. "the Nation's Christmas Tree", and contains many popular hiking trails as well as the Grant Grove stables. Cedar Grove sits inside Kings Canyon itself, a glaciated valley featuring terrain similar to Yosemite Valley, and provides visitors with miles of hiking trails perfect for backpacking enthusiasts. Whether you are interested in horseback riding, hiking, camping, or just enjoying the majestic mountain views, Kings Canyon has something for everyone!
