WOW! You cannot believe the size and age of these things until you are actually there! Also very interesting that they are very shallow-rooted and need forest fires to propagate. We loved it! Full review by lovesailtrip

This park is a national treasure and our only fear is that it won’t last. Fire has already destroyed acres of forest and these giant Sequoias are always in danger. Take time and learn the history of … Full review by Departure40879134560

My husband and I (late 70s, numerous hip and knee surgeries) were there in May. A lot of the parks, mostly in Kings Canyon, were still closed because of the flooding and landslides . Check the park web site for up-to-date information. We stayed at Buckeye Tree lodge in Three Rivers, just a few miles outside the Foothills Visitor Center. Highly recommend both the lodge and the town. Both parks have lots of trails, ranging from handicap-accessible paved or smooth dirt -- our speed! -- up to mountain-goat level. Too many to name here. Hume Lake is lovely, easy to get to, walk as much of the loop trail as you like, or just relax in one of the lakeside Adirondack-style loungers and watch the loons. Not to miss is the General Sherman Tree and the Giants Forest, both just off the General's Highway. You can wander among the trees on smooth trails that give you a real idea of the size of these biggies. Down south you can drive to Hospital Rock, good picnic spot and check out the pictographs on the rock, Also plenty of spots just pull off the road and enjoy the view. Hope you enjoy your trip.
