We spent two days in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and appreciated the need for both. Out of Fresno it’s an easy hour and a half drive to the Kings Canyon entrance. The main road connects both parks. For us, day one was cool with temps in the 40’s and overcast. Day two was in the 60’s and sunny. Great views of trees, wildlife and lots of easy trails to explore.

Sequoias are magnificent living beings that are here thousands of years, a way longer than any human being. I admire them for their age and for their ability to self-heal and regenerate, which is truly fascinating. This national park was on my bucket list for years and I'm really happy that I've managed to finally visit it.
It takes some time till you get from the park's entrance to the right place and see the giant trees, as they grow in the specific elevation with the right climate conditions.
To manage both national parks, Sequoia and Kings Canyons, come to the parks early in the morning, as the distance between places is not so small. Or divide parks' visits into two days, not to rush anywhere.

We drove on the long winding roads to the top where we found amazing sequoia trees. We were riding for a while so we stopped before hiking to the general and used the restrooms. In my life I have never
Seen worse conditions. The urinals were backed up and running on the floor.
The ladies room had not one square of toilet paper and there was paper scattered everywhere on the floor. Disgusting is a kind word.
