The General Sherman giant sequoia, rear right in the above photo, is the largest tree in the world. That's largest volume. Neither tallest, nor widest...largest. Photos can't do it justice. it's gigantic. Just huge. Both the tallest and widest are also in California.
Sequoia NP, above, and Kings Canyon, below, were spell-bindingly unique. Through Kings Canyon the King River rushes through an unfathomable amount of rapids. And Sequoia is just grand. And majestic. I wish I had more time to either sit or explore in either of these great places.
Kings Canyon and Sequoia offer some of the most untouched wilderness in the contiguous states. There is supposedly amazing hiking and wildlife. Both parks are Large and Rugged.
Redwoods allow for pretty cool camping spots, as well!
