Sequoia-Kings Canyon, Biosphere reserve in Sierra Nevada, California, USA.

Sequoia-Kings Canyon extends from 1,370 to 14,500 feet in elevation, featuring deep valleys, granite peaks, and ancient sequoia forests.

The area became a protected zone in two phases, with Sequoia National Park established in 1890 and Kings Canyon National Park added in 1940.

Archaeological sites within the reserve contain artifacts and village remains from Native American tribes who inhabited these lands for generations.

Two main access routes serve the park: Highway 180 from Fresno to Kings Canyon and Highway 198 from Visalia to Sequoia National Park.

The reserve contains some of the oldest living organisms on Earth, with giant sequoia trees reaching ages over 3,000 years.
