Kings Canyon National Park
Kings Canyon National Park features terrain similar to Yosemite Valley, and is home to the deepest canyon in the United States at over a mile and a half deep!
With its deep valleys, skyscraping trees, and distinctive rock outcroppings, Kings Canyon National Park is the place that John Muir once called "a rival to Yosemite." By some measures, it is home to the deepest canyon in America!
Little Baldy Trail!
Little Baldy Trail!
Kings Canyon National Park
Arguably the best bang for your buck hike in Sequoia National Park. It's a short ascent with an incredible vista as the payoff.
A short hike with impressive views of Sequoia National Park, the Little Baldy trail is the less touristy version of Moro Rock. When we hiked it on a beautiful Sunday morning in the summer, we had the entire summit to ourselves. Even if other hikers had been up there, it would have still felt empty as Little Baldy is so large and offers 360 degree views.
Lakes Trail
Little Baldy Trail!
Congress Trail
Because of the dramatic and varied surroundings, the Lakes Trail provides the best day hike into the high Sierra backcountry of Sequoia National Park. The 5.8 mile route passes through thick forest and along the rim of a deep canyon, then leads to four glacial lakes in the middle of a stark granite landscape, equal in beauty to anything in Yosemite National Park, which is generally better known for mountainous scenery than Sequoia. The path gains 2,270 feet in elevation, mostly over the first few miles, but the route is relatively easy and the round trip quite possible in about 6 hours.
Congress Trail
Little Baldy Trail!
Congress Trail
The Congress Trail is a popular paved loop that starts at the General Sherman Tree, the largest in the world, and goes about a mile south to an impressive collection of immense sequoias, a few of which look just as big as the Sherman Tree. Also at the south end of the loop are two unusual groupings of somewhat smaller sequoias, the House and Senate groups.
