Highlights

Explore a grove of Sequoias with your own private guide! Your guide will bring the local knowledge to enrich the experience and the route expertise so all you have to do is relax! Tour includes pre-trip assistance to help make your trip seamless. Your guide is versed in Sierra Nevada natural history; from the geologic processes that raised these mountains to the human histories of those who walked these trails before us to the fascinating plants and animals and modern science that we are still learning about today. Safety is a priority; I always carry a first-aid kit and I am certified in Wilderness First-Aid.

About Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park

Sequoia and Kings Canyon are two adjoining national parks in California's southern Sierra Nevada, home to giant sequoia groves and deep granite canyons.

The two parks are managed together on the western slope of the southern Sierra Nevada, rising from foothills of oak and chaparral to granite peaks of more than 4,000 metres. In the Giant Forest, the General Sherman Tree, the largest tree on earth by volume, stands among many other giant sequoias, which grow only on the western slopes of the Sierra and can live for more than two thousand years. Moro Rock, a granite dome climbed by a stairway cut into its side, gives views across the Great Western Divide.
