Within these parks, you’ll experience a spectacular range of plants and animals living in varied conditions. You’ll enjoy viewing them as you traverse the steep hills and winding roads. The Wilderness Act of 1964 protects and preserves these environments. The Act was put in place by Lyndon B. Johnson in September of 1964 to make wildlife a national priority and to protect and preserve wild areas throughout the country. The Act has ensured that this environment is mostly untouched by man to maintain its legacy and natural state. But that doesn’t mean you can’t explore the park. They provide over 800 miles of trails.

The parks cover an astounding 800,000 acres of designated wilderness. Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Park have a wide variety of ways you can interact with nature and the wilderness.
