    从死亡谷出来,经过红杉和国王峡国家公园才到达优山美地。这里的红杉(也叫美洲杉)树龄非常长,有的10人合抱都无法围拢。风景秀美,虽然不能和优山美地相提并论,但这里游客比较少,也显得比较宁静,是从死亡谷的苍茫过渡到优山美地的生机勃勃的理想过渡。

    We placed ourselves among the less energetic, and so the shorter and easier Kings Creek Walk at the Canyon base was what we chose. Even this walk which led us through lush ferns and eucalyptus to a platform with views of the sheer canyon walls above was particularly difficult at times for some of our group. The walk though was pleasant enough with rewards around every corner and rock on the route.

    Long drive, but worth it. Loads of swimming spots, hiking trails, camping areas, scenery, wildlife and waterfalls. Stores and shopping, and tourist info, and post office too.

    We went to this park last July, after visiting Los Angeles for five days, and it was just what the doctor ordered. It is hard to describe the natural beauty of the whole park. Of course, the trees are the main feature, but there is so much in landscape and wildlife to see. My daughter and I spent more time exploring the forest areas. Shuttle buses are the only way to get around. We parked at the Giant Forest Museum and took the shuttle bus to various stops, ending at the Lodge Pole Visitor's Center. My son and husband did rock climbing, and took the Moro Rock shuttle. Keep track of the time, so you don't miss the last route back to your car.

    Kings canyon is our favorite place on all the earth. It is not open during the winter months, but you can travel to the scenic overlook. As far as i am concerned it is much nicer than yosemite and not nearly so crowded. When we go to roads end it eels like we are in nattures cathedral. the road down there is quite twisty but it is worth the effort

    It's about a 30 mile drive that will take you at least an hour. Twisty, windy and lots of really terrific scenery. At Road's End and there abouts there are any number of hikes, fantastic fishing, a market and restaurant that will make you with you'd brought something along!

    It's hot during summer and get cold in the night. Bring a rain gears sometimes it rain out nowhere. Making early reservation. Spaces are limited and full. But all and all it beautiful. Some hiking trails are worth going. This is good for group trip or romance get away.

    I went to the Sequoia National park and Kings Canyon for 2 days. I would highly suggest everyone visit at least once in our life. If you have a convertible, even better! Make sure to fill up the gas tank, you aren't going to see a gas station for a long while!

    However much you have read, when you finally see the giant sequoias, you will yet be amazed. If you come from the North, go through the park from Fresno on route 180 and come out using 198 at Three Rivers. Tulare which is right on route 99. If you are heading south, Tulare is a good overnight place as you finish a hard day on the park, and then reach Tulare which is directly on Route 99 and you can start off your journey right away. I would say that a one day stay in the park is adequate, starting with a visit to the Grant Grove, followed by the Giant Forest, and maybe one more place. As you drive through from the entrance on Route 180, its at least a three hour drive without stops to come out at Three Rivers on Route 198. Budget for an hour at each spot - Grant Grove and Giant forest. If you are coming from the South the reverse will apply.Snow Chains for tires are needed in winter and were mandatory as mentioned on the website. But no one checked or asked. Walmart was kind enough to accept the chains back as we had the original receipt and an unopened box. The slopes around the trees get iced over, and walking is difficult. So good to have spikes on shoes. No plastic soles please!! The ice is pretty hard to fall on....

    Worth stopping, at least to see the big tree, the second-largest in the world. If you're just in the area for a day or two, your time would be better spent over in Sequoia. But if you're backpacking and camping overnight, this is a superb choice. Some good hikes, too.

    The clear focal point of these two national parks is the giant sequoia trees. And they do not not disappoint. It is truly awe inspiring to walk around the base of a living thing that stretches 300 feet to the sky and has been around for 2,000 years. While there is plenty to see here, including stunning canyons and mountain ranges, you cannot leave without seeing the General Sherman and General Grant trees. We visited in December, and while much of the parks were closed, the snow covered ground adds an distinct beauty to the surroundings because the red trees pop out against the white background. We loved our visit and will definitely return in the summer.

    Being from out of state and not very sure about driving on snow and I had reservations about coming here in the December. I read the parks website and also called their weather information phone number (which I was unable to understand the recording). I went on and wondered if I would be turned away at the park gate. I still am very confused about the snow chain policy. When I arrived every vehicle was welcomed in the park. I did notice a sign saying you needed snow chains or a 4 wheel drive vehicle with snow tires. I only saw a few cars with snow chains and I saw a big variety of cars including small two wheel drive vehicles. I assume that under bad conditions they would actually enforce the snow chain policy. I entered the park on 180 and saw the trees at Grant grove and drove through the park exiting on 198 near Three Rivers driving on snow and ice much of the way. I wish the park conditions were more clearly spelled out. I went in December and had no issue.

    Loved the drive down Kings Canyon and the amazing views. The river coursing through the valley floor was dramatic, as was the waterfall, and the nearby marble rocks we found especially fascinating.

    This is worth the trip. We went in December when there was snow on the ground and it was absolutely breathtaking.

    Seeing the Giant Sequoias for the first time feels like an encounter with an old friend. We visited this park after being in Yosemite National Park for a few days. Yosemite certainly has it's charms, but we preferred Sequoia National Park for it's peacefulness. It is possible to find a trail in the Giant Forest that leads away from all crowds. This also means, of course, that the park is less tourist-friendly in terms of transportation (there is no shuttle system between attractions) and food options. Nonetheless I recommend travelling here to experience being in the presence of the oldest, largest trees on Earth. Can't be beat!
