Introducing Kings Canyon National Park
Kings Canyon would be deluged with visitors were it not for Yosemite, its more famous neighbor to the north. But just as well. This leaves this giant gash in the earth’s crust to the true adventure- seekers who crave its endless trails, rushing streams and gargantuan rock formations. The camping, backcountry exploring and climbing here are all superb and, best of all, you’ll be able to survey giant sequoias, caves and a superb driving road at your unimpacted leisure.
