SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK
Home to some of the tallest trees in the world, Sequoia National Park is a humbling place to visit. With the park's magnificent trees towering hundreds of feet above you, it's easy to feel small in comparison. Located about 80 miles east of Fresno, California, in the southern Sierra Nevada mountain range, the park was established in 1890 as a measure to protect the giant trees from being logged, making it America’s 2nd National Park. The adjacent Kings Canyon National Park was formed in 1940 and, eventually, both parks became linked together.
