**FOUR DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS**

Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park is home to the largest remaining grove of sequoia trees in the world! Located in California's southern Sierra Nevada mountain range, Sequoia National Park and the adjacent Kings Canyon National Park.

One of the most popular sights in Kings Canyon National Park is the General Grant Tree (the world’s second largest tree), located in the Grant Grove of trees near the park entrance. It is a definite 'must-see' on a visit to Kings Canyon National Park. Kings Canyon is one of the deepest canyons in North America and is often compared to nearby Yosemite National park, another of California's amazing parks. Sheer granite cliffs line the canyon, while the road down into the canyon follows along the mighty and roaring Kings Rivers.

There's something magical about awakening in Sequoia National Park, surrounded by groves of the world's largest living things. And some smaller ones, too, like red-tail hawks and yellow-bellied marmots. Their massive, cinnamon-hued trunks and stout limbs soar skyward only here, on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada range, between 5,000 and 8,200 feet. (Taller and more slender, coast redwoods grow only on a narrow strip along the Pacific Coast.)
