Introduction

Kings Canyon National Park is one of the American West's most spectacular canyon parks. Adjacent to Sequoia NP in the Sierra Nevada, it features a deep granite canyon (deeper than the Grand Canyon), giant sequoia trees (including General Grant Tree, world's 3rd largest) and towering mountain scenery. Carved by the Kings River — about 2,500 m deep (deeper than the Grand Canyon), North America's deepest canyons. Shares management and tickets with Sequoia NP. General Grant Tree is the world's 3rd largest tree by volume, designated the "National Christmas Tree." Kings Canyon Scenic Byway is a magnificent drive. Visiting for a canyon deeper than the Grand Canyon is a magnificent California experience.
