ATTRACTIONS NEAR SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK
The Parks Inn Bed & Breakfast is just minutes from Sequoia National Park also known as the "Land Of Giants." It testifies to nature's size, beauty, and diversity - huge mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons, vast caverns, and the world's largest trees. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks lie side-by-side in the southern Sierra Nevada, east of the San Joaquin Valley.
SEQUOIA AND KINGS CANYON NATIONAL PARKS
At Giant Forest, in Sequoia Park, is the General Sherman Tree. The largest tree in the world, standing 275 feet high and 103 feet in circumference. The second-largest tree in the world, the General Grant Tree, and the Nation’s Christmas Tree, is located at Grant Grove in Kings Canyon. Both parks provide a hiker’s domain of spectacular peaks, canyons, lakes, and streams, threaded with a thousand miles of trails. Connecting the two national parks is the Generals Highway, a 46-mile long scenic road from Ash Mountain through Giant Forest to Grant Grove. The highway reaches 7,643 feet at Big Baldy Saddle. This highway and branch roads take you to such attractions as Moro Rock, Crystal Cave, Crescent Meadow, Big Stump Grove, and Roaring Fork Falls. You can enjoy Lake Kaweah, only two miles from The Parks Inn Bed & Breakfast, or drive to Mineral King, a peaceful valley beneath the peaks of the Great Western Divide.
WELCOME TO THE LAND OF GIANTS
You expect giant trees and huge canyons—and you won't be disappointed. Within these parks, you can experience a spectacular range in elevation from warm foothills to cold alpine peaks. The largest and finest groves of giant sequoias grow at the sometimes snowy mid-elevations, along with extraordinarily diverse plants and animals living in extremely varied conditions.test
