Turn back the Pages of time 3,000 years with a trip through Sequoia and Kings Canyon National parks. At Giant Forest, in Sequoia Park, is the General Sherman Tree. The largest tree in the world, standing 275 feet high and 103 feet in circumference. The second largest tree in the world, the General Grant Tree, and the Nation's Christmas Tree is located at Grant Grove in Kings Canyon. Both parks provide a hiker's domain of spectacular peaks, canyons, lakes and streams, threaded with a thousand miles of trails. Connecting the two national parks is the Generals Highway, a 46 mile long scenic road from Ash Mountain through Giant Forest to Grant Grove. The highway reaches 7,643 feet at Big Baldy Saddle. This highway and branch roads take you to such attractions as Moro Rock, Crystal Cave, Crescent Meadow, Big Stump Grove, and Roaring Fork Falls. 

Approached along highways 180 and 198 which feed from route 99 San Francisco and Sacramento north to Fresno,  (you could take the 41 here to Yosemite) or carry onto Bakersfield and LA south.
