Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are famous for the giant sequoia trees, including the largest living thing on Earth, the General Sherman tree. There are much more in the parks: the deepest canyon (8200 feet) in North America, the highest peak (Mount Whitney, 14494 feet) in the contiguous 48 states, and very diversified plants, animals, and terrains. This was my second time to visit these twin parks, and I was more prepared to explore the beauty of the parks.

Getting there ...

It's about four and a half hour driving to Kings Canyon National Park. We (my mother-in-law, Clare, Linus, and me) got out at about 8:00AM, and got there just passed noon.

Going Home ...

I think we knew more and enjoyed more about the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks in this trip than my last trip four years ago. We learned more about sequoia trees, learned more about caves, learned more about canyons, knew what dogwoods are, knew I can carry Linus and walk for an hour, and even learned that PowerBar is really a good stuff :-) We will keep learning more in our next trip.
