Residing on the western slopes of the southern Sierra Nevada mountain range, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks play host to a more robust, forest-filled landscape, compared to the Eastern Sierra, with deep canyons and basins to adventure in and explore. In Sequoia National Park, you’ll be treated with the likes of numerous conifers, like the White Fir, Sugar Pine, Incense-Cedar, Red Fir, and the Ponderosa Pine. And while these conifers are special in their own right, the interspersed groves of Giant Sequoias are really a sight to see and main attraction for any guests visiting these parks. In Kings Canyon National Park, you’ll have the opportunity to explore more remote, deep, and rugged landscapes like those found in Le Conte Canyon, in the northern reaches of the park to the west of the Palisades. Kings Canyon National Park also features the well known Rae Lakes Loop, Sixty Lakes Basin, and the coveted peak, Mount Whitney. For our Mount Whitney Trips we enter from the Eastern Sierra, click here to check out out Eastern Sierra offerings, including Mount Whitney from Cottonwood Lakes.
