Kings Canyon National Park is the younger of the two parks in the Sierra Nevada’s range (the other is Sequoia National Park). The park consists of two distinct areas, Grant Grove and Cedar Grove. Grant Grove is home to the General Grant tree, which has been called “the Nation’s Christmas Tree.” The General Grant tree is the second-largest tree in the world, being slightly smaller than the General Sherman tree found in neighboring Sequoia National Park. Kings Canyon National Park offers huge mountains, rugged foothills, deep canyons and vast caverns. Kings Canyon is also home to Redwood Canyon, the world’s largest remaining grove of sequoia trees.
