The Sequoia and Kings Canyon frontcountry is littered with caves caused by eons of erosion that gouged out softer metamorphic rocks. Crystal Cave is one of only two that are open for visitation, the other being Boyden Cave in Sequoia National Forest. Reservations can be made online at www.recreation.gov, and you can obtain your ticket at the trailhead for the short path that descends nearly 400 feet (122 m) to the mouth of Crystal Cave. Several options for exploring the cave range from a short, family-friendly tour to a half-day spelunking adventure.

The President stands as the third tallest sequoia in the world (Route 21).
