Kings Canyon National Park

The national park features granite peaks exceeding 14,000 feet, deep canyons, sequoia groves, and alpine meadows across 461,901 acres of protected wilderness.

Established in 1890 as General Grant National Park to protect sequoias from logging, the area expanded and received its current name in 1940.

Indigenous peoples managed the land for thousands of years using controlled burns to maintain vegetation and sustain their communities in the Sierra Nevada.

The park maintains two main visitor areas, Grant Grove and Cedar Grove, with entrance fees of $30 per vehicle and seasonal camping facilities.

Kings Canyon contains North America's deepest canyon, plunging more than 1,200 meters through glacially carved granite formations.
