Golden Gate Photo - Kings Canyon-Sequoia National Park Gallery
Fine Art Photography from Kings Canyon-Sequoia National Park.
Kings Canyon-Sequoia National Park is a relatively recent merger of two great national parks. Sequoia National Park, on the south, is the second oldest park in the national park system, created to protect the water supply and the big trees in 1890. It includes the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada that are the home to the groves of the giant trees, eastward to the geographic divide of the Sierras that includes the highest point in the contiguous United States, Mount Whitney. The sequoia (Sequoia-dendron giganteum) is the largest confirmed living organism on Earth with a height up to 311 feet (95 meters), a base diameter up to 40 feet (12 meters), and a weight up to 2.7 million pounds (1.4 million kilograms). Kings Canyon, on the north, includes much of the remote, glacially-carved peaks of the Sierra north of Mount Whitney along with the deeply-incised canyons of the Middle and South Forks of the Kings River.
