*Covers Yosemite National Park,
Yosemite National Park is famed for its giant, ancient sequoia trees, and for Tunnel View, the iconic vista of towering Bridalveil Fall and the granite cliffs of El Capitan and Half Dome.
The park is famous for its giant sequoia trees, including the General Sherman tree, the largest tree on Earth. This tree grows in the Giant Forest, which contains five out of the ten largest trees in the world.
Kings Canyon National Park is a national park in the southern Sierra Nevada. Originally established in 1890 as General Grant National Park, it was greatly expanded and renamed to Kings Canyon National Park on March 4, 1940. Its namesake, Kings Canyon, is a rugged glacier-carved valley more than a mile (1,600 m) deep. The park contains some of the world’s largest stands of giant sequoia trees. Kings Canyon is north of Sequoia National Park; the two are jointly administered by the National Park Service as the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.
