À quoi s'attendre
1
Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park
The largest trees in the world – Sequoiadendron giganteum or the giant sequoia – are the top draw for many visitors to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks. And this slice of the Sierra Nevada mountains in California is indeed one of the best places to see these incredible, awe-inspiring trees. As the audio guides play commentary based on your GPS location, you can create your own itinerary along the tour route to match your interests and schedule.
2
General Sherman Tree
General Sherman, named for American Civil War general William Tecumseh Sherman, is considered to be the largest tree in the world by wood volume and is estimated to be 2,200 years old. That makes it the most famous tree in the park, and it is surrounded by other amazing trees in the grove. Visiting the tree requires a half mile walk to the site, but is a not-to-be-missed sight.
3
Giant Forest Museum
Located at the Giant Forest, the museum is a fantastic place to begin your exploration of this unique area. Located in an historic market building, displays help demonstrate the story of the giant sequoias. A number of short, but worthwhile, trails complete with interpretive signage depart from the museum site.
4
Hospital Rock
Archeological evidence around the Hospital Rock provides insight to how different Native American groups lived in and used the area dating back to the 14th century. Our modern Hospital Rock name originated through incidents where on two occasions a pair of settlers were given treatment for injuries at the site by the then resident Monache band, including a gunshot wound from a trapping accident. Those two settlers then tagged the site: Hospital Rock. This location features ancient bedrock mortars and pictographs.
5
Moro Rock Trail
This is a fantastic small-ish granite dome that is able to be scaled using a 350 step staircase. Panoramic views from the top are impressive and include the Great Western Divide of the Sierra Nevada, the foothills, and the San Joaquin Valley. One of the top three best sights in Sequoia!
6
Tunnel Log
Unlike some other tunnel-though-a-tree locations, where a living tree was sacrifiiced for amusement, this car-sized tunnel was carved through a giant sequoia that had already fallen naturally. The park managers thought it was a good way to help visitors further understand the immensity of the giant sequoias, and also was a unique way to make the road passable once again. Don't worry if your vehicle is too large - there is a bypass option!
7
General Sherman Tree
The General Grant Tree, close to Grant Village and the Kings Canyon Visitor Center, is one of the world's largest. The parking area is conveniently located making this marvel very easily accessible. If you are willing to walk further, this grove contains other fantastic trees and formations well worth exploring. It was the goal to protect this particular tree and grove from logging that eventually lead to the creation of Kings Canyon National Park.
8
Panoramic Point
A very descriptive name for this elevated view that is expansive across the peaks of the high Sierras and the depths of Kings Canyon. The access road is located opposite the turn for the General Grant Grove. A very short hike is needed to open up the best views.
9
Roaring River Falls
Just a short half mile walk on a paved trail gets you to enjoy Roaring Falls. The roaring gets very thunderous during the late spring melt and run-off. More serious hikers can continue on to Mist Falls, one of the biggest in the park.
