Let’s be real, what are we even talking about here? You drag yourself out of bed, drive three hours through absolute nothingness, hoping to find yourself in an endless forest of giant sequoias. And w…Full review by JovanePicciaccia

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

There isn't much to these two parks except a beautiful drive providing there is no road construction going on. Sequoia of course has the giant grove of Sequoia trees, but it is a drive to get there and then not much else to see beyond that point. We were not impressed with Kings Canyon except for the Overlook. If you enjoy hiking you can visit the General Sherman Tree. The path was covered in ice and snow when we visited in early May, so the path was too dangerous for us to walk it but it should be fine in July. We have visited many of the National Parks over the years and about 15 years ago we purchased the Senior Pass while in Washington, D. C. It was $10 at that time but much more now. After that initial cost however, entrance to all the Parks is free, and at the rate the fees are going up, it's well worth it to buy the pass if you are a frequent visitor to the National Parks. There are restrooms at the Grove of the Giants in Sequoia but little else after that. Check with the ranger station at the entrance to see if there is still construction going on. We were told that after a certain time in the day if there is construction happening, we would not be able to come out the way we went in and would have to do a long circle trip. It was miserable and took hours to get back. We stayed at the Lazy J Ranch in Three Rivers. It was beautiful and only 15 minutes to the Park entrance.
