If you don't like winding drives with some dropoff, you may want to skip this area. Otherwise treat yourself to the best part of this area. While the canyon may not be as dramatic as Yosemite, it is none the less gorgeous, being surrounded by the granite and the trees with some picturesque water features.

We enjoyed seeing Kings Canyon. The drive was beautiful. We saw some beautiful trees and mountains. I would highly recommend you to visit Kings Canyon.

Nice area. The drive down had beautiful views. Grizzly Falls was pretty and we hiked around Zumwalt Meadow which was nice. Other than that not much in the area. Watch out for rattlesnakes. We saw 2 within an hours time in the canyon.

Kings Canyon was much better than I could have imagined with huge, easily accessible groves of thousand year-old Sequoias, towering pines, several easy-yet awesome trails, a scenic Le Mans-like drive winding 3000 feet down into a canyon with sheer, granite walls carved by the glacier; cool, roaring rivers and waterfalls, lush meadows (Zumwalt) and very few people.

A far better nature area than expected, There were not many people there and our neighbors when camping were Pileated Woodpeckers. The trees were beautiful and quite tall, have to crink your neck to appreciate them, and difficult to fit into a photo. The greenery was a welcomed pleasure from the flat brown topography when driving to the parks. Hiking... More

Breathtaking, beautiful and so quiet! Hardly anyone seems to have heard of this canyon and yet it's far greener and prettier than the Grand Canyon, and more accessible too as you can drive right down into it. Compared to Yosemite, the place is empty - even Americans don't seem to visit it, and yet it's stunning. Very highly recommended.

What a lucky break on our part. We could not get reservations in Yosemite campgrounds so we thought we would settle for second best at Sequoia. We were so wrong. Sequoia was a true delight and a real wilderness adventure. No crowds, fantastic spacious campgrounds. Wonderful views and hikes. Everything we were looking for and more. It was only a... More

Just returned from Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks for two days and had a great time. Travelled with my hubby and 23 and 16 year old girls. We stayed in three rivers and left early each morning for the beautiful drive into the park (about 40 minutes total, but gorgeous!!) The first day we went to Moro Rock, totally... More

We camped in Sequoia/Kings Canyon NP for a few times. It's first time to stay in Azalea Campground. Excellent location - close to park entrance, walking distance to Visitor Center, Sunset Amphitheater, and Grant Grove. Good facilities like running water and flush toilets. We had great time for two nights in the Memorial Day weekend. Even though it's on 6,500... More
