Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks

Better than Yosemite! Camp with the Giants in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks.

Explore the Giant Sequoia Groves of Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks.

Here is a great base to explore two of California's unique national parks. Some of the attractions include two of the largest and distinctive Giant Sequoia groves in the Sierra Nevada, a glacial Yosemite-like valley, waterfalls, cascades and soaring canyon walls.

		The rich natural history of the Parks is complemented by an equally as interesting and exciting human history.

Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks are equally accessible to both southern California and the Bay Area.

Stay at Grant Grove - Kings Canyon National Park

Camp within a quarter mile of the big trees! It's only a short stroll from our outdoor learning site camping area to the General Grant Tree - our nation's Christmas tree. Wildlife and wildflowers are abundant. We are close to the newly redesigned Grant Grove visitor center with state-of-the-art displays.

Grant Grove is a perfect destination to learn about Giant Sequoias and mid-elevation conifer forests. It is also strategically located to explore the rest of Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks: Lodgepole and the Tokapah Valley, Giant Forest, foothill forests and grasslands and a vast backcountry wilderness of rivers, lakes and far distant views.

Stay at Lodgepole - Sequoia National Park

Located at the entrance to a dramatically carved glacial canyon, our Lodgepole camping area is wonderfully situated to take advantage of all the best Sequoia & Kings Canyon have to offer: waterfalls, a pristine mountain river and the Sequoias of Giant Forest.

Some activities in the Lodgepole area include:

* a short walk to Tokapah Falls below the majestic Watchtower.

* an excursion to Crystal Cave [automobile shuttle required].

* visiting the General Sherman Tree.

* exploring 40 miles of trails in the Giant Forest.

Lodgepole is the perfect place to complement your school's educational or retreat objectives.

Let us help you design the perfect program.

Located in Giant Forest is Moro Rock. A 1/4 mile trail leads to the top and fantastic views into the backcountry wilderness along the Great Western Divide.

Come to Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks and see for yourselves what wonderful and special places they are. Though close to southern California and the Bay Area, the Parks are nowhere near as busy as Yosemite and other popular national parks or national forests

Sequoia & Kings Canyon are also great places for seeing wildlife. Deer, black bear and marmots are frequently seen along with many different species of birds.

Naturalists at Large can introduce your school to all of this and more in an excellent outdoor education adventure in Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks.
