Giants
Sequoia National Park is one of the oldest national parks in the country, originally established in 1890. The park protects the largest unlogged grove of giant sequoia trees in the world.
In addition, the park is also home to the most biodiverse region in central California and the highest peak in the continental United States. There are plenty of ways to explore this vast and beautiful national park.
