Description
Kings Canyon National Park is a wonderland of giant trees, impressive deep canyons, and some of the highest peaks in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Described by John Muir as a rival to Yosemite National Park, Kings Canyon is one of a close-knit cluster of California's National Parks, a National Forest, wilderness land and a National Monument.
Separated by the adjacent Sequoia National Forest, Kings Canyon National Park is divided into two sections, with Grants Grove to the west and Kings Canyon eastward. Grants Grove, created in 1908 to protect some of the world's largest Sequoia trees, was combined with Kings Canyon in 1948.
The canyon, one of the deepest in the United States, was cut by powerful forces of the South Fork Kings River. The area is filled with a variety of scenic wonders, including side canyon waterfalls, picturesque river cascades, Boyden Cavern, and majestic mountain peaks on each side.
