Sequoia National Park

Sequoia National Park is one of the most unique national parks in America. This park is full of its famous giant redwood trees, which defy your belief of what you know a tree to be. Sequoia National Park is one of the oldest national parks. It was founded on September 25, 1890. The park is absolutely massive; it spans over 400,000 acres, or over 600 sq mi, with the vast majority of the park being considered “Wilderness.” Certain areas are only accessible either by foot or on horseback. Sequoia National Park is often referred to as Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park. This is because those two parks are so close to one another, that some people and organizations find it easier to group them together. If you visit Sequoia National Park, be sure to bring your camera and backpack so you can spend some time exploring the park.
