Giant Sequoias, mountains, waterfalls, caverns, and more make Sequoia and Kings Canyon among the most beautiful national parks. Just driving through is worthwhile, but if you have time, you should definitely do some hiking, camping, and/or other activities.

Sequoia and Kings Canyon are two separate parks, but they are usually grouped together due to their proximity. Sequoia National Forest fills the narrow space between them.
