Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks lie adjacent to one another on the western
slopes of the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Sequoia National Park
is home to the largest of the Giant Sequoia Trees, which can be easily visited by short dayhikes
on wide, well-maintained trails over level terrain. In terms of volume, the Giant
Sequoia Trees are the largest tree in the world, making them an awe-inspiring sight
to see. Although not the longest living trees in the world, their life span is also quite
incredible. The oldest Giant Sequoia is known to have lived for 3,500 years. This page has
photos of the Gian Sequoia Trees and some of the scenery around Sequoia National Park.
