Presentazione generale

Sequoia and Kings Canyon

Giant redwoods, deep canyons and high Sierra valleys.

General Sherman Tree, Moro Rock and Kings Canyon give the most telling landmarks of Sequoia and Kings Canyon. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs, forests and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.

Vedi tutto

For a stay of 4 to 8 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Place indismissible

General Sherman Tree

4,7 / 5· HidengoDa 1 a 2 h

The General Sherman Tree Impressions less by an isolated silhouette than by the mass of its trunk, broad, reddish, almost disproportionate in the middle of Giant Forest. Around it, the gateways allow to measure the scale of giant sequoias without trampling on their fragile roots.

Remarkable location

Mont Whitney

4,6 / 5· HidengoDa 1 a 2 h

Mount Whitney dominates the eastern Sierra Nevada and attracts hikers through its altitude, clear edges and views of the deserts of the eastern California. Since Sequoia and Kings Canyon, he has been reminding the massif of its magnitude, but his approach requires preparation, permitting and attention to storms and acclimatization.

Place indismissible

Moro Rock

4,6 / 5· HidengoDa 1 a 2 h

Moro Rock is a granite dome whose stairway marries the rock up to an exposed ridge. The climb is short but steep, rewarded with a clear view of Giant Forest, the steep valleys and the tops of the Sierra, particularly legible when the morning air is clear.

Nature and panorama

Kings Canyon

4,5 / 5· HidengoDa 30 min a 1 h 30

Kings Canyon plunges into a valley of granite dug by glaciers, between cliffs, seasonal waterfalls and lively river. The road that descends to Cedar Grove gradually gives the measure of the canyon, with stops where you pass from the distant panorama to the noise of the water against the blocks.
